The Administrative Litigation course is based on the study of the basic principles of contentious procedural law, identifying the problems that may arise in a legal process.
None required.
The fundamental objective of this subject is to introduce students to the detailed analysis of the main cases of the contentious-administrative jurisdictional order, using case methodology.
Students will learn how to:
- Recognise and evaluate the arguments at the root of contentious-administrative judicial processes and identify emblematic references for each case.
- Prepare all the procedural briefs required for the contentious-administrative judicial defence of a client.
- Apply the basic principles of contentious-administrative law; identify the main problems that may arise during the course of the process.
- Apply the rules of evidence to the contentious-administrative process.
Contentious-administrative process: Aims of the administrative procedure; the principles of legal process; categories of legal process; procedural phases; evidence; precautionary measures; execution; contentious processes related to urban and environmental litigation; contentious processes related to tax litigation (economic-administrative claims); contentious processes related to litigation in the field of public service; contentious processes related to litigation in matters of the pecuniary liability of the Administration; contentious processes related to litigation in contractual and expropriation matters.
The University Master's Degree in Advocacy bases its methodology on the “case method” which consists of 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, they look for solutions and share the possible alternatives available.
Our intention with the case method is to help students 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 Litigation 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.
• Exam: Accounts for 40% of the final mark.
