Course objectives

The objective of the course is to explain to the students points of departure, institutes and contexts of the theory of law in connection to its application in various sectors of public law and private law, with a particular focus on the right to social security. Students can gradually become familiar with the nature of the legal, democratic and social state, the content dimensions in law in both objective a subjective sense, obtain an overview of the legal system, regulations and relationships and gain insight into the nature of legal responsibility, as well as into legal procedures - administrative, civil and criminal. At the same time, they will acquire knowledge of fundamental rights of citizens (individuals), particularly concerning the economic, social and cultural rights, which are most associated with social functions of the state. In this context, they will become familiar with the legislation on the status of foreigners, refugees and asylum seekers. The framework of the instruction will be set by the constitutional and legal regulations of the Czech Republic and their harmonization with EU law. The instruction will combine the required element of expertise with its matter-of-fact and intelligible form, corresponding to the possibilities of students of non-legal faculties and/or study programs. Study Outcomes: Professional Knowledge: Students will acquire adequate level of knowledge of the points of departure and parts of the theory of law and of the possibilities of their application in various sectors of the legislation, especially in the context of the content focus of social security rights. They can analyse the substance of the basic institutes forming the content of the legal state in terms of its theoretical definition, but especially in view of its actual functioning. Professional Knowledge: Students will be able to use the acquired knowledge connecting legal theory and practice on their occupational level, particularly in respect of the knowledge in the field of legal proceedings, especially the administrative procedure. Similarly, they will be capable of making every-day practical use of the knowledge concerning the catalogue of social and cultural rights that their clients are guaranteed by the constitutional order of the Czech Republic. General Qualification: Students will be able to assist in applying public and private law in the performance of their duties concerning individual people (clients).
