Legal research on public/private interplay

University of Copenhagen

Course Description

The aim of this course is to enable participants to identify, analyse and discuss substantial issues and developments of broader relevance for legal research on the interplay between public law and private law rules within different areas of law. The course will also provide a forum for discussion of aspects of research design and methodology with senior researchers from the Centre for Enterprise Liability.

Before the course, PhD students will have assigned readings (100-150 pages) and be asked to submit a description of their project which must highlight how their project relates to the topic of the PhD course, including thoughts on how the interplay can be addressed in the project and how it might influence on your legal analyses. PhD students working on PhD projects with research questions concerning the interplay between public law and private law will be invited to give a detailed presentation of specific aspects of their project in writing before the course and may be invited to give an oral presentation of these aspects at the course.

During the course, all PhD students will be required to take active part in workshops and group discussions.

After the course, PhD students must prepare a text of maximum 2 pages in which they reflect on how the readings for the course and the discussions at the course may improve their research projects.
