In view of the ever-growing importance International Law acquires in practical life this course aims at getting a better understanding of what "good international law teaching" means.

In this advanced course of International Law the teaching of this subject will be centre stage. "Teaching International Law" is an area of research with a longer tradition in the Anglo-American area but in Europe only recently broader academic attention has turned to this field. In the ambit of this course it will be examined what are the European national traditions of teaching International Law, how the various segments of an ever more fragmented international order shall be effectively addressed in teaching and finally what makes a "good International Law teacher".

Presentations (mostly in English) and discussion; participants should engage in an interdisciplinary dialogue (law and pedagogics); the assessment of the participating students shall take place on the basis of a final examination at the end of the course.

Course examination according to § 7, statute section on "study-law regulations"
