Contents:
The seminar serves to practise English legal language using the example of religious law. To this end, the principles of German and European religious law will be examined, the relationships between the state and religions worldwide will be analysed using examples and the sector of contract law between the state and churches in Europe will be discussed in terms of legal history and on the basis of the current legal situation.
To this end, the participants will give short presentations on individual topics and provide the relevant source texts, which will be discussed in the plenary sessions.
