The course gives students an opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge they have acquired to the practical resolution of case studies. It is intended primarily for fourth-year students who have completed, or are currently enrolled in, Financial Law II and Legal English IV.
Students will work on a case drawn from the problem set for a prestigious international moot court competition, such as the International and European Tax Moot Court Competition held at KU Leuven in Belgium. Working as a team, they will develop the skills required to prepare written legal submissions and present legal arguments effectively. The course will be divided into two parts. The first part will cover the substantive law relevant to the competition problem. In the second part, students will prepare written submissions under the supervision of the course guarantor and take part in the moot court competition. Last update: Šicnerová Barbora, Mgr.

The course will be taught in blocks. At the first session, students will receive a detailed introduction to the competition problem and the relevant substantive law. At the second session, they will be introduced to the applicable procedural rules and the practical aspects of preparing written submissions. Further sessions will be scheduled according to the availability of the course guarantor and the enrolled students. During these sessions, students will independently prepare written submissions for an international moot court competition under the guidance of the course guarantor.
