LL.M. Legal Theory 2017-18

Master Program Design and Study Plan (vs Jan 25, 2018)

(www.legal theory.eu)

DESIGN The LL.M. Master Program in Legal Theory of the European Academy of Legal Theory (EALT) at the Goethe University Frankfurt/Main (GU) provides a complete education in legal theory (jurisprudence). The curriculum rests on a sound inner rationale resulting from more than 25 years of experience of the Academy in offering a Legal Theory Master’s course in Brussels, Vienna, and Frankfurt/Main, the program’s home base since 2014. The basic structure is threefold: (1) The obligatory modules A, B, and C take place in the first main part of winter term at GU. The

mode of examinations varies. (2) Elective modules (E1-7) in the second part of the winter term and in the main in the spring term.

Obligatory are 3 out of them (the examination consists of writing an essay). This may happen either at GU or at partner universities abroad. The examination consists in writing an essay.

(3) Module D (called summer term in the curriculum´s terminology, mid-June until mid-Sept.) consists of three months writing the Master thesis supervised by a member of the LLM´s teaching body at places of the 3rd Term Network in German, Europe and (exceptionally) Overseas. In formal respect, there must be 2 supervisors, one of them being a member of the Frankfurt Law Faculty.

The curriculum is designed to make the students familiar with the richness of the European traditions in legal theory. Students will be recommended to take part in any class beyond the ECTS requirement.

Besides this ground structure there are many side options (non-obligatory classes, conferences, lectures). These options may take place at Frankfurt or at locations of the partners throughout Europe. The participation in such schools will be notified in the diploma (supplement), in case of an examination with an appropriate amount of ECTS.

In the following study plan, the obligatory classes are colored in grey. To safeguard a basic homogeneity of the class, students lacking advanced competences in legal theory, legal style and language skills are obliged to participate in two introductory weeks. The first week in October, there is tutorial (“warm up”) week to make students familiar with the essentials of the obligatory modules. This includes kind of a certain canon of readings that are presupposed later on in module A. The mid-October week at the University of Brno gives an introduction into legal writing in the continental as well as in the Anglo-American tradition. Throughout the academic year there are many academic offers by the Frankfurt Law Faculty (including the Institute of Law and Finance) and in the main by the Max-Planck-Institute of European Legal History and the Cluster of Excellence on the Formation of Normative Orders (for details see annex below). Legal theory is of analytic and normative nature. It sheds systematic light on all legal essentials, i.e. principles, rules, procedures, argumentation, logics etc. To be familiar with these essentials is of vital importance to come to terms with the many legal challenges of a globalizing world. The comprehensive education of this Master program is set in a European perspective. Europe´s legal systems and academic pluralism provide a huge variety of legal and academic cultures. Thus, this endeavor is a specific challenge, more complex than is any other part of the world. It was the purpose of GU´s Law Faculty and the partner universities under the roof of the European Academy of Legal Theory (EALT) to set up a program governed by the principle of unity in plurality thereby safeguarding the accommodation of diversity in a globalized world.

This program is designed according to the Humboldtian ideal of education. It wants both “Ausbildung” and “Bildung”. Sound education has always been of personal nature. It is not only concerned of subjects but also of a productive atmosphere and cultural sensitivity. Thus, this Master program goes along with a broad and international teaching body. Students will become familiar with leading scholars of jurisprudence from Germany and Europe and from overseas also.

As the present curriculum combines legal theory with applied legal theory, students may alternatively pursue two types of career.

(1) For the professional career, they return home or they look for new frontiers in Europe or in Frankfurt itself (with limited opportunities, mainly in banking and finance and international law firms).

(2) Heading for an academic career there is the option to stay in Frankfurt for a Ph.D. (based on an individual agreement with members of the teaching body). Or they go to the partner Ph.D. program of Glasgow, Leuven and Tilburg that takes account of 60 ECTS of the Frankfurt LLM degree. Besides this institutionalized path students may find individual agreements with members of the European teaching body of the LLM.

Globally, in most academic environments being a professor also means being a practitioner. This shows that (1) and (2) are not exclusive types. Then on, Germany is a special case as there are no exclusive professorships for legal theory anymore but only the combination of a doctrinal field of law with legal theory. This reflects that law students in Germany officially do not study in a law school or a faculty of law but in the faculty of the science of law (“Rechtswissenschaft” as it reads at the entrance of the Frankfurt law building). This goes back to Kant and mainly von Savigny being explained in module A.

PERSONS The teaching body consists of teachers from Frankfurt and from European partner universities / institutes of the LLM. Sometimes the program also offers teachers from overseas, mainly from the Americas.

(Theory of) Comparative Law This class is part of module B (see below). It serves as neat introduction into the modules to come. Students will get a sense for the plurality of legal systems what will be deepened in module B2/3 and in the spring term especially be E4. They also will get familiar with the intricate interplay of material and procedural rules, moreover, with the relation between the law in the books and the law in action (that is analyzed more deeply in the class on the sociology of law within E2). The analysis of these relations is the challenge of legal comparison. Structural legal comparison is anchored in legal theory.

The special feature in module A is an introduction to jurisprudence combining the history of legal philosophy with the systematic approach to basic traditions in legal theory. At first, this entails a historic-systematical introduction into legal philosophy (A1-2). Module A is first (= A1) concerned with the exposition of the early media of law and philosophy in ancient Greece, i.e. Greek language & scripture, as preconditions of the formation of philosophy and the philosophical reflection on law.

Theory of European Legal Integration EU Human Rights and Criminal Justice This class serves as introduction into the foundations of European Legal Integration. The point of departure is the Charter of Fundamental Rights, the heart of the EU constitution. Most recently, the EU turns to subjective, more or less human rights as point of departure for EU legislation and jurisdiction. Seen from overseas it is rather challenging to come to terms with the distinction of the EU and the European Council embracing also countries like Russia and Turkey, being mirrored by the jurisdictions of the EU court in Luxemburg and the court in Strasbourg. The interrelation of courts at Luxemburg and Strasbourg as well as the national constitutional courts (like the German Supreme Court at Karlsruhe)is a second topic of this class. The general considerations will be illustrated by the issue of EU Criminal Justice. It will be exemplified by the EU Arrest Warrant and the recently established European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO). Thus, EU integration is the practical laboratory in many respects. Module B3 is not only the most prominent area to test legal comparison and global law practically. It also serves as most intriguing example for legal pluralism being deepened in module E4.

Legal Methods - a Comprehensive Spectrum Module C1 presents the methodological counterparts of module A and B, especially A2 and B1), attempting a comprehensive approach into legal methods, mainly encompassing the traditions of the Anglo-American and continental law and traditions combining them (e.g. some states of Brazil). C2 narrows the comprehensive spectrum given in C1 by focusing on logics in law (treating monotonic and non-monotonic logics in law). Thus, C2 also gives an introduction into formal logics (to be deepened in E7). After connecting the modules A and B (by C1 and C2) it provides an introduction into the methodological grounds of the elective modules E1-7. The module C3 serves an early handling with and consideration of the Master thesis (module D). Students have to present a first paper on the topic of the Master thesis to be discussed m in methodological respect. Legal Methods The Spectrum of Methods – Introduction (I)

elective modules E 1-7 According to the idea of a comprehensive legal theory curriculum comprising norms and facts the modules E1, E2 and E3 are an elementary part of the winter term. There may be additional classes discussing vital issues or practical matters. Non-obligatory events may deepen these modules. The E modules are a central link between Goethe University and the core partners of the European LLM consortium.

E1 Law, History, and Culture This module on cultural studies consists mainly of the perspective of legal history and legal anthropology. In specific respect, it approaches the role of religion for law The legal history class is taught by Thomas Duve (director of the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History). There will be the opportunity to meet renowned Frankfurt scholars in legal history as Gerhard Dilcher and Joachim Rückert. The Max Planck Institute is the European center to ally the European scholarship in legal history. Legal anthropology is introduced by Marie Claire Foblets (director of the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology). The class law and religion will focus on the thesis by Harold Berman on law, revolution, and religion.

E2 Law, Society & Culture This module serves Law, Society & Culture as introduction to legal sociology, stressing the empirical elements of law. The basic introduction into legal sociology is given Hubert Rottleuthner (Berlin/Frankfurt). Rottleuthner has given this class many decades at the FU Berlin. Regarding this sociological approach of systems theory and is variations there will be a tutorial by Ricardo Campos. There is also class on law and gender. The class is taught by Juliane Ottmann from the FU Berlin being an alumna of the Brussels LLM Legal Theory. She has taught this class for many years. There will be non-obligatory events in law and gender by the Cornelia Goethe Initiative of GU. Law and literature (law as literature/law in literature) may be taught either at Frankfurt or at Brno. The annual conference at Brnos University is the most prominent forum for law and literature in Europe (http://www.legalscholarshipblog.com/2016/11/16/law-literature-brno-czech-republic/).

E3 Law, Science, and Technology This module (deepening module C) pays tribute to the new medium of the law, i.e. the digital form of communication (see A1) by applying it to the medium of (digitalized) law and the expansion of artificial intelligence. Regularly, this module takes place at Stockholm University as one of the core partners of the LLM Legal Theory. It focuses on legal information management, legal research management, ICT and eLearning with the objectives of acquainting participants with legal writing skills, legal information management and innovate ICT based pedagogical methods. A core target group is legal academics who, in their role as teachers of law, will invoke these skills in research and teaching. With respect to applied legal

13

theory, the other target group is legal practitioners being deemed to act on these skills. Exceptionally, in 2017-18 the module takes place at the University of Bari, offering a winter school in mid-Febr. 2018 on Legal Reasoning / Legal Argumentation and thereby deepening module C. Concerning E3 there may also be a summer school at the Jagiellonian University of Kraków.

E4 Formation of Normative Orders This module concentrates on legal pluralism as fact and normative challenge. It is affiliated to the Frankfurt Excellence Cluster on the Formation of Normative Orders (www.normativeorders.net). The focus of this module is also the interrelation of human rights and democracy and international law as subject matter for this relation. All of the teachers in E4 are well known by publications. E5 Law and Economy (Governance, Compliance) This module is mainly connected with the teaching body of Frankfurt´s House of Finance (as a cluster of scholarship in law and economics at GU) and of the University of Lucerne as core partner of the LLM. Additionally, there will be classes in legal history concerning the paradigm of good governance historically. The MPI Frankfurt is a major center for research on the Salamanca School. Thus, students profit from this research. By co-operating with an international law firm students encounter the practitioner’s approach to governance and compliance. Beyond this the sound attempt of the law firm of “Roxin” (www.roxin-alliance.org) to establish a network of law firms serves as an example for global law and the paradigm of networks. E6 Global Law This module at ULB Brussels is explicitly conceived to deepen module B3 convened by the teaching body of the Perelman Center in Brussels. There is a subsequent second week consisting of an international renowned “Global Law Week”. Participants will meet scholars partly representative of the francophone tradition in legal theory. By taking the second week, students may strive for the double degree offered by ULB. E7 Law, Language and Reasoning This module deepens module C mainly focusing on law and logic (including linguistic and semantic aspects of legal argumentation). It is convened by EUI Florence in cooperation with the University of Bologna, the Jagiellonian University of Kraków and Harvard University.

see http://lawandlogic.org/ The Law & Logic module has been successfully convened by an internationally renowned teaching body for many years. It is a highlight for any student focusing on law and logics.

Legal Reasoning / Legal Argumentation The goals of the Winter School in Legal Argumentation derive from the growing interest developed in the last decades toward legal reasoning and toward the central role that argumentation takes in the legal practice of democratic constitutional states. This short course in legal argumentation is aimed to articulate the theory and practice of argumentation in the different spheres of law and is addressed especially to lawyers and other people working within the legal system who are aware of the necessity of an updated theory for the best legal practice. If we assume that the practice of law consists fundamentally in arguing (justifying and giving the reasons for a certain decision), it should not look odd that lawyers with a professional conscience have a certain curiosity for questions such as: Do justifying and explaining a decisions amount to the same thing? What does it mean ‘legal argumentation’? What kinds or forms of legal argumentation do we have? To what extent is legal argumentation different from ethical or political argumentation or also from argumentation in ordinary life or in science? How can we rationally justify legal decisions? What is the criterion of correctness of legal arguments? Can law offer a ‘one right answer’ for each case? What are the ultimate legal reasons, that is those reasons that can justify a determinate legal decision? In this sense the Bari Winter School has as its general goal that of offering to its participants a first approach to the tools necessary to develop or empower their own capacities in legal reasoning, updating them with the contemporary legal theory and considering some plausible answer to the questions just listed. 9.30-12:30 Introduction to the Theory of Legal Reasoning

winter schools abroad Winter schools (as well as summer schools in the spring term) provide the occasion to deepen the standard program. By studying abroad, students get also the opportunity to get to know centers of excellence throughout Europe. They also will make friends with students beyond the regular class of the LLM Legal Theory (as these schools are offered to a broad audience). Students of the LLM may participate in these schools at a reduced rate or for free. These schools enrich the knowledge in legal theory matters. They also foster the communicative and intercultural competences targeted by the LLM Legal Theory. Students finally get into contact to additional legal theory scholars thereby completing the personal knowledge of leading European legal theorist. The participation in non-obligatory modules or schools will be listed in the diploma supplement of the degree certificate.

The Palermo winter school and the Palermo summer school provide the opportunity to deepen the standard program.

Course) • Formal Logic and Legal Argumentation (Special

Course) see http://lawandlogic.org/

The Summer School on Law and Logic has been held for many years. This course is designed to give students rigorous training in a wide variety of logical methods that can assist all kinds of legal analysts, including students, lawyers, judges and scholars. The overall framework for the course is the “Logocratic Method” (S. Brewer), a systematic method for assessing the strengths and weaknesses of arguments, including, but not limited to, legal arguments. Since so much legal analysis consists in making and evaluating arguments, this this method can be a powerful tool for all legal analysts. In the design of the LLM Legal Theory, this school is supposed to deepen module C. For illustration see program of 2017: Monday, 9:00 – 10:30 Perceptions of cooperation and clash of logic and law – opening thoughts about the utilities of logic for law – Basic definitions and methods of the Logocratic Method (Brewer / Sartor) 11:00 – 12:30 Logic and argumentation (Prakken / Sartor) 14:00 – 15:30 Introduction to propositional logic: Part 1 (Prakken / Sartor) 16:00 – 17:30 Part 2 (Prakken / Sartor) Tuesday, 9:00 – 10:30 Review of basic concepts and exercises from the first day – link (Brewer / Prakken / Sartor) 11:00 – 12:30 Representing legal rules and legal arguments in propositional logic: Part 1 (Brewer / Sartor) 14:00 – 15:30 Part 2 (Brewer / Sartor) 16:00 – 17:30 Review of basic concepts and exercises on propositional logic (Brewer / Prakken / Sartor) Wednesday, 9:00 – 10:30 From propositional to predicate logic: grammar and basic structure (Rotolo / Sartor) 10:30 – 11:00 Coffee break, Lower Loggia, Badia 11:00 – 12:30 Session 3.1.2: From propositional to predicate logic: semantics and relations – link (Brewer / Sartor) 12:30 – 14:00 Lunch, Mensa, Badia 14:00 – 15:30 Session 3.2.1: Review of basic concepts and exercises on predicate logic – link (Brewer / Sartor) 16:00 – 17:30 Modelling the law in predicate logic (Brewer / Sartor) Thursday, 9:00 – 10:30 Argumentation and argument schemes (Henry Prakken, Giovanni Sartor, Samuel Brasil and Lorenz Schulz) 11:00 – 12:30 Formalising argumentation / Burdens of proof and presumptions – (Brewer / Sartor) 14:00 – 15:30 Review of basic concepts and exercises on argumentation theory and tools ((Prakken / Sartor / Brasil /Schulz) 16:00 – 17:30 Analogical reasoning: Part 1 (Brewer / Sartor) 19:30 Social dinner at La Pentola Dell’Oro Friday, 9:00 – 10:30 Analogical reasoning: Part 2 (Brewer / Sartor) 11:00 – 12:30 Deontic and modal logic: Part 1 (Rotolo / Sartor) 14:00 – 15:30 Deontic and modal logic: Part 2 (Rotolo / Sartor) 16:00 – 17:30 Deontic logic and Hohfeldian concepts (Rotolo / Sartor) Saturday, 9:00 – 10:30 Review of basic concepts and exercises on deontic logic (Rotolo / Sartor) 11:00 – 12:30 Induction: generalisation and specification Part I (Brewer / Prakken) 14:00 – 15:30 Part II (Brewer / Prakken) 16:00 – 17:30 Bringing it all together: a master case for logocratic analysis (Brewer / Prakken / Rotolo / Sartor) 17:30 – 18:00 Closing Session.

Competition law is a classic field of economic analysis of law. This is largely due to the fact that competition law uses terms such as market, price, and competition and must therefore rely on economic knowledge and analyses. In the United States, economic analysis has greatly influenced not just the antitrust law scholarship but also judicial decisions and agency enforcement. Antitrust law and economics is based on the traditional paradigm of neoclassical economics, which relies on the assumption that the market players, i.e. consumers and producers, are rational. This approach to competition law was later received in Europe under the banner of a “more economic approach”.

For the past two decades, Behavioral Law and Economics which sets out to generate better insights to legal phenomena by providing economic models with more realistic psychological foundations and to offer a multitude of applications in legislation and legal adjudication, has challenged the traditional economic approach to law generally and, more recently, to competition law specifically. It is the aim of this conference to further develop the traditional as well as the behavioral approach to competition law and to apply these approaches to a variety of timely issues. Relevant topics may concern, for instance, the intersection of competition law and technology markets (e.g. the recent Google Search decision); the interplay of competition law and intellectual property generally and patents specifically; the economics of networks and particularly two-sided platforms; the competition law implications of increasingly large horizontal shareholdings by financial intermediaries; competition and privacy in the new economy and more.

Globalisation and Legal Theory

doctoral colloquium at Glasgow University This program provides an excellent preparation for further research in Law, serving as a qualification in its own right and a platform for PhD study. It offers an advanced introduction to the study of Law with a specific emphasis on Globalization and socio-legal methodology. This is of importance for students considering PhD studies after graduating from the LLM. Only a limited number of LLM students can be admitted. - for details see www.phdlegaltheory.org/ Summer School on Human Rights "Histories of Human Rights" The past 25 years have witnessed an extraordinary efflorescence of interest in the idea of human rights: in law, in philosophy, in politics. One of the most notable features of the discussion, at least more recently, has been the turn to history as a means of understanding the concept. Not surprisingly, however, the relationship between concept and history has proved neither unidirectional nor unidimensional. What kind of history we tell depends on what we think of human rights; what we think of human rights depends on how we read history. The stories into which we insert, and through which we present and justify, our visions of human rights are irreducibly plural and contested. To mark the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the doctoral program in Human rights at the Department of Law of the University of Palermo, ‘Histories of human rights’ adds to the annual summer school associated with the program a workshop designed to reflect on the complex pasts of human rights and their implications for the present. We invite twelve younger scholars to present their work to an audience consisting of established international scholars in the field as well as participants in the summer school (currently PhD students and 12 extra participants) and members of the University of Palermo with interests in law, philosophy and history. Confirmed keynote speakers opening the workshop will be

Current Theories of Moral Obligation The workshop will explore all the major theoretical traditions in the study of legal obligation with a view of contributing to advance our understanding of the kind of obligation specifically engendered by the law. More specifically it will engage with issues concerning both the nature of the obligatory force of the law and its foundation. That is, the discussion is expected to be concerned with not only what enables the law to hold us bound to do anything but also why legal requirements should be taken to be binding, by thus working toward a structured explanation of legal obligation. In that way, the workshop is meant to operate on two levels, identifying, on the one hand, a conception of legal obligation, and, on the other, the basis of the obligatory force of the law.

Annex Extracurricular opportunities at Goethe University (GU) conferences/lectures/seminars (open to the LLM students)

in German or English; in part by special invitation Frankfurt is one of the leading centers for an advanced reflection on the formation of normative orders and on normativity as such. For an LLM Legal Theory student this is shown by the program of the Master and also by the many extracurricular opportunities at Goethe University. For part of the students heading for a professional career in the field of law (laying stress on applied legal theory and profiting from the practical side of the program) there are extracurricular options in the law faculty or e.g. in the House of Finance. For other students thinking of going on with a Ph.D. and an academic career the program is a perfect point of departure. The co-operation with the Ph.D. track of Glasgow / Tilburg opens doors abroad. Quite a lot of former students of the program took the opportunity to start a Ph.D. in Frankfurt itself, being supervised by teachers of the LLM or by members of the law faculty they got to know through participating in the many extracurricular opportunities at GU. Of course, such supervision is the result of individual agreement reflecting thereby the Humboldtian ideal of education. I. Trans-/inter-/intradisciplinary institutions - concerned with issues of normativity -

1. Max Planck Institute for European Legal History (www.rg.mpg.de)

Since its establishment in 1964, the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History has devoted itself to investigating the history of law in Europe and beyond. Its research, its specialized library with more than 400,000 media items and its numerous co-operations has made it one of the central research hubs for the worldwide scientific community concerned with investigating our past and present national and transnational legal orders.

The Max Planck Institute for European Legal History regards one of its most important tasks to be making a specific contribution to the basic research in legal studies and social sciences, as well as in historical humanities through historical research based on theoretical reflection in the field of law and other forms of normativity. directors Thomas Duve Stefan Vogenauer For lectures etc. see www.rg.mpg.de/veranstaltungen. Students of the LLM Legal Theory have access to the famous library of the Institute.

Frankfurt Summer Academy 2018 (16 July - 27 July 2018) “The World and the Village. The Global and the Local in Legal History” The Max-Planck Summer Academy for Legal History provides an in-depth introduction to methods and principles of research in legal history. Although its main focus is on European legal history, there is special emphasis on global perspectives on legal history. It addresses a selected group of highly motivated early-stage researchers, usually PhD candidates, working on a research project with an interest in the basic research of historical formation and transformations of law and other normative orders.

Justitia Amplificata (“Rethinking Justice - Applied and Global”) is a Centre for Advanced Studies (Kolleg-Forschergruppe der DFG) at the Goethe-University of Frankfurt am Main and the Free University of Berlin, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The Centre constitutes a new forum for political theorists, philosophers, and empirical social scientists interested in normative, applied and interdisciplinary questions of justice. Its main goals are to bring together the theoretical and methodological perspectives of diverse approaches in political theory and philosophy with respect to normative debates about justice, and to investigate the question of how empirical research is relevant for how justice ought to be theorized.

4. Institute for Law and Finance In the LLM Legal Theory, the focus on law and finance is visible at several instances (notably in module C and E4 at Goethe University and E5 at ULB). Within the faculty this perspective is at home in the House of Finance hosting legal and financial scholarship at once. On the legal side, there is the Institute for Law and Finance (www.ilf-frankfurt.de). There, well-trained specialists in banking and capital markets enjoy excellent opportunities for professional advancement, especially in today’s financial and business capitals.

The ILF provides its students with a springboard for their careers in international corporations, banks, law firms, accounting and auditing firms. The ILF offers advanced, postgraduate elite law degree programs along the lines of law programs offered by British and American law schools. Both LL.M. programs at the ILF distinguish themselves by focusing the interdisciplinary courses on the special skills needed by both legal and finance professionals engaging in the field of international finance. In the LL.M. Finance program, students are also given the opportunity to participate in internship programs organized by the ILF.

The LLM Legal Theory treats issues of justice connected with economy and finance. Not only methodologically it is concerned with law and economy. In substantial respect it treats the issue of justice in a global world that is largely dominated by the financial logics of the markets.

The students of the LLM Legal Theory may take the opportunity to get in contact with students of the mentioned programs at the ILF. In addition to its primary goal of providing excellent education to students from all over the world, the ILF also prides itself on its role as a leading Research and Policy Center. It promotes the constant exchange of ideas between academics, regulatory bodies, credit institutions and the legal community. Regular series of conferences and guest lectures on topical issues related to international business and the financial markets are delivered at the ILF by leading academics from all over the world (see www.ilf-frankfurt.de/seminars/upcoming-conferences-guest-lectures/).
