Regional online course ‘German Law and Legal Terminology’

Details

Published: December 11, 2024

The second online course, ‘Introduction to German law and legal terminology’, which is aimed at German-speaking legal practitioners from the Western Balkans and was already launched last year, began at the end of October 2024. The course will conclude with a face-to-face session at the Faculty of Law in Novi Sad, which also initiated the course, in spring 2025.

The online format enables people from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia to participate, even from cities that are logistically difficult to reach. The challenges of the online format are met by using not only classical learning methods such as translation exercises, cloze texts and discussions, but also a wide range of educational and explanatory films on German law. Each course unit concludes with a ‘cultural studies light’ topic that encourages participants to engage with Germany beyond its legal system.
