Restituer économiquement l'actualité juridique ( Restoring the legal news economically)

General presentation of the Course

Law consists of both stable rules and events.

These events are sometimes predictable and sometimes unexpected. They are expected when it comes to laws whose adoption is expected or judgments, which are expected to be rendered. But there is always something unpredictable: a new amendment will be adopted ; in which sense will the judgment be rendered? There can be something unpredictable: an indictment suddenly, a patent suddenly filed.

Thus, legal news must be continuously monitored to measure what is happening in the world, not only in the legal world but in the economic world.

In the legal world because every current event, or that has occurred, or projected, or envisaged, makes live the rules that we could learn statically, through a law that we learned, through its text or through a principle that we know, for example the binding nature of contracts or the presumption of innocence.

In the business world because the legal event has a direct impact on economic events and economic structures: a new law will change business strategies, a court decision will change investment prospects, will stop the decisions of States themselves.

The economic impact of legal news is immediate. It allows to go back to some legal principles, as revealed by the news and that the specialized economic press does not always perceive. Symmetrically, because the news does not know the borders of Law, it shows that events taking place outside French Law, or even European Law, can have an impact on French operators, or give them a new understanding of their environment .

This is particularly relevant when the perspective is that of the digital, for which the concept of boundary, inherent in classical Law, is quite inappropriate.

Validation modalities

Since this is a course, the overall grade will consist of two written exercises.

These will be two written exercises.
The first control will be done in parallel of the course on a subject provided by the professor and will be returned at the end of the semester, as are the papers, in the conditions where they are in the general terms and conditions decided by the School of Public Affairs.
The first topic will be a case study.

The second control will be done during the last course in the form of a written test.

The student will have to deal with a subject chosen between two subjects. The first is necessarily a dissertation,, the second can be a text comment from a case.
