GENERAL OUTLINE
The course and conference Public and Private Justice
is interdisciplinary in nature. It not only deals
extensively with the legal aspects of civil litigation, but also touches upon other
disciplines such as history, political science, philosophy and sociology.
The main aim is to analyse the role and functioning of
the law and its institutions as mechanisms for the regulation of social
conflicts in present-day Europe. The course also covers topics that have an impact on a global scale. The emphasis of the course lies in
the real day-to-day functioning of those mechanisms in the light of
the applicable normative framework. The course focuses on the resolution
of civil disputes, both in general and in
specific areas (e.g. commercial and family litigation). Equal attention
is given to mechanisms established and controlled by the state (i.e.
courts and other institutions of „public justice“) and mechanisms that
are established and controlled by civil society actors (persons and
tribunals in the field of „private justice“, including arbitration and
mediation).
