International
The modules ‘International Civil Procedure’ (autumn semester) and ‘Private International Law’ (spring semester) can be taken individually or together in any order. They focus on different areas and thus complement one another thematically. Taking them together provides students with the opportunity to acquire the in-depth knowledge required to competently handle private law cases with an international dimension (e.g. cross-border contracts, traffic accidents abroad, inheritance cases or families with international connections).
In addition, the Institute offers further lectures to deepen students’ interest in private law, as well as in civil and arbitration procedural law with international dimensions.
National
The ‘Civil Procedure Law’ lecture, which forms part of the Bachelor’s programme, deals with the Swiss Civil Procedure Code (ZPO), focusing in particular on proceedings to establish a claim. The lecture ‘Debt Enforcement and Insolvency Law’, offered as part of the Master’s programme, covers the fundamentals of the enforcement of monetary claims and the main principles of insolvency law.
In addition, the Institute offers other teaching modules designed to deepen students’ understanding of procedural law.
