Introdution to Law and Labour Law

Base Knowledge

There are no recommended background knowledge.

Teaching Methodologies

Theoretical-practical methodology: initial theoretical exposition (legal/doctrinal/jurisprudential) of each theme; complementary practical framework, with active participation of students (exposition of jurisprudential cases/practical hypotheses, to consolidate the theoretical knowledge taught).

Learning Results

As a result of the program and considering the contextualization of the subject in a School of Accounting and Administration, we opted for a thematic, selective and critical approach to some of the most relevant problems of the normativity of Law and Labor Law, making a choice of subjects capable of illuminating, clarifying and highlighting the subordination of legal technique to meta-legal and meta-state principles and criteria, of a philosophical, ethical and sociological as well as labor nature.
