1. ABOUT EUROPEAN FACULTY OF LAW

The European Faculty of Law is an independent and private higher education institution. It is the first law faculty in Slovenia that developed its study programmes in correspondence with the European Bologna model of studies. The Faculty was founded by the Institute for Human Rights, Advice and Education, the Institute of International Law and the Institute of Civil Law. In July 2005, the Council for Higher Education of the Republic of Slovenia granted accreditation to the European Faculty of Law. Faculty’s head office is located in Nova Gorica. It also has a branch in the capital city Ljubljana. Lectures are held in both locations. Since 2017, the European Faculty of Law is part of Nova University, which is a private higher educational University, based in Nova Gorica.

Linking theory with practice, practical applicability of knowledge, innovation, professionalism and friendly academic environment are undoubtedly elements that put the European Faculty of Law among top education institutions in Slovenia. Its success lies in student-friendly and innovative learning process emphasizing the combination of theory and practice. Lectures and seminars are held in small groups by top Slovenian lecturers and lawyers from the ranks of judiciary, diplomacy, attorneys, public administration and professions in the field of real estate.

The Faculty is, following its vision, developing in an internationally recognized higher education institution in the areas of law and real estate management. Its main goals are academic excellence, competent and specialized departments as well as international recognition. The Faculty has obtained the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education to guarantee international exchange of students, professors and staff members. All study programmes are state-approved. They correspond with and develop according to the needs of national and international environment, and cover all three Bologna cycles.

The overall study process is geared towards providing high quality, professional and applicable knowledge and skills, which serve graduates and employers as an added value in domestic and international labour market.

You can find more information about study programmes in our Brochure for Incoming Students, Professors and Researchers 20161.

10.3 CONSTITUTIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW

EDMETI

Duration: 4:10:12h

Content: 11 Videos

Lecturer: dr. Arne Marjan Mavčič

Course description: The course enables students to broad and in-depth knowledge of systems and protection of human rights in the world. It is a combination of national and comparative human rights law. As an upgrade to the (national) constitutional law, comparative method informs students about regulations in foreign countries across individual world areas and characteristic types of systems or constitutions. By the process of globalization and the development of communications the comparative approach became a condicio sine qua non of any modern legal expert.

Students learn through formal and informal forms of protection of human rights, in particular the constitutional protection resulting from existing models of judicial/constitutional review.

The existing grounds of human rights law are reflected in national constitutional norms and principles. Moreover, international human rights law and – in Europe – Council of Europe law and European Union law, are strongly influenced by national constitutional law . Although “traditional” systems such as the U.S. , Canada , France and Germany may at first glance serve as a kind of patterns in the search for systemic solutions , the recent constitutional developments in the countries of the new democracy cannot be ignored within the comprehensive presentation of the discussed topic.

10.10 PUBLIC LAW

Duration: 2:30:54h

Content: 5 videos

Lecturer: dr. Peter Jambrek

Course description: The course provides information about basic principles of Public Law. Assuming that law as a body of legal rules and practices may be divided into public and private law, the course’s foci are general principles of administrative, criminal, administrative, and constitutional law. Substantive and procedural elements of public law are studied from the points of view of theory of state, public international law, comparative law and European Union Law. Emphasis is given upon principles of rule of law, constitutional democracy, modern welfare state, and state sovereignty. Theory of public law is applied to practical issues by means of constitutional and European (Strasbourg and Luxembourg) courts’ case law. Comparative constitutional review also informs discussions among course participants on issues relevant to students’ Ph.D. theses.
