Students will begin to consider the foundations of the international legal system, treaty interpretation, and foundational international understanding of the core concepts. The purpose of this model is to understand the nature of international law while carrying out their LLB programme and to be able to reflect the status of international law in a hierarchical society of laws.
Students will learn about the different courts, tribunals and organisations within international law and how they feature within domestic law. Moreover, a foundational understanding of geopolitics, treaty interpretation and the significance of legal jurisprudence will all be a factor in building up knowledge and an appreciation of international law. The seminars will be delivered as a socratic seminar which aims to build confidence, academic understanding and legal development.
