The aim of this subject is to deal with the main subjects covered by consultancy in the field of Administrative and Constitutional Law.
Applying the case method, students will be able to gain in-depth knowledge of the regulation of public administration and all the regulations that govern the organisation, operation and attributions of the Public Administration in its relations with individuals and with other Public Administrations as well as the study of the fundamental laws that define a State.
Students will learn how to:
- Recognise the main areas for which administrative legal advice is given.
- Apply the basic principles of consultancy in administrative law, and identify the main examples of precedent-setting cases relating to this discipline.
- Master the production of the main extrajudicial legal documents (contractual and others) relating to the field of administrative law.
- Write reports and give expert opinions in the interests of clients or the Public Administration on strictly substantive aspects of the field of civil, commercial, administrative and employment law.

The University Master's Degree in Advocacy bases its methodology on the "case method" which consists in studying real-life scenarios and problems that law firms deal with. Students prepare and analyse cases, identify the issues and, once in class together with the teacher, either individually or in groups, look for solutions and share the possible alternatives available.
Our intention with the case method is to help students to acquire the main skills of a good legal professional such as logical reasoning, ease of oral expression and language proficiency, among others.
The module on Administrative and Constitutional Law Consultancy consists of 3 ECTS of which 30 hours are teaching and then a minimum of 40 hours work by each student on which they will be assessed.
The evaluation consists of two parameters:
• Participation in class: Accounts for 60% of the final mark.
• Written examination consisting of a test and a case study: Accounts for 40% of the final mark.
