The course Zurich debate evenings on the history of law  (V-Nr: 3934) is a 3 ECTS elective module in the Master's degree program in Law, which is offered jointly by the chairs Thier, Alonso, Ernst, Fiocchi Malaspina, Liebrecht and Babusiaux.

Successful completion of the module requires attendance of all three face-to-face courses and the timely submission of sufficient essays for two of these courses. The essays consist of a summary of the lecture (40%) and an independent in-depth study of an aspect of the lecture of the student's choice using relevant literature (60%). They comprise 20,000-25,000 characters (including spaces and footnotes, excluding indexes) and are written in German. A cover page provides information on the topic and author. The presentation and citation style should meet academic standards, but a specific style is not prescribed. The essays are to be submitted by e-mail to the Thier Chair (lst.thier@ius.uzh.ch). The submission deadline for the essays is 2-3 weeks after the lecture. Participation in the course will be graded as "pass"/"fail".

Registration takes place via the UZH booking tool. The modalities for inquiry modules apply to the module.
