This course introduces students to the essential concepts, vocabulary, and analytical tools required to understand and draft business contracts in English within a digital and international legal environment.
Particular attention is given to electronic contract formation, smart contract execution, platform-based commercial practices, and the liability of digital service providers within the framework of European Union law.
The class is designed as a virtual exchange within the EDUC Alliance, in collaboration between the University of Pécs (Hungary) and Université Paris Nanterre (France). Students will engage in both synchronous and asynchronous activities in mixed nationality groups. This intercultural dimension allows students to compare legal approaches, collaborate on practical case studies, and develop their professional English communication skills in a comparative law context.
The course alternates between lecture sessions and guided small-group work, combining theoretical grounding with applied legal practice. Students will work on real-world cases involving digital platforms, automated contracts, and regulatory obligations under EU law (DSA, DMA, GDPR, E-Commerce Directive, Digital Content Directive, etc.).
Participation, regular engagement, and active contribution to joint projects with other students based on the mixed nationality groups are essential components of the course.

This course introduces you to the economics of law. An economic analysis of law comprises two related enterprises. The first enterprise is positive. It uses economic ideas to understand the behavioral consequences of changes in legal rules, an exercise in applying price theory. The second enterprise is normative, and thus more controversial. It appraises legal rules to determine the extent to which they meet the social goal of efficiency, an application of welfare economics. We employ both approaches in analyzing the law — the common law (property, contracts and torts) especially, but also litigation rules, and constitutional law.

Regulations have tremendous impacts on economic growth and the well-being of humans. Indeed, they shape economic systems. It is thus required for policy makers and regulators to understand and gain a firm grounding in the key features of regulation: Why are we regulating? How should we regulate? How regulation could fail? How to design an institutional system which is capable of delivering good regulations? How to assess regulatory quality?
This course will offer a theoretical, practical and multidisciplinary approach of the phenomenon of regulation.

This course proposes an overview of the integration of sustainable development into European Union law. The objective of a sustainable development, set out in the 1987 Brundtland Report and confirmed by the 1992 Rio Conference on Environment and Development, now infuses all European Union law. Regulations designed to protect the environment have been developed, but more broadly the issue of environmental protection has become an integral part of the law relating to economic activities.
