KDEC 2130 - Comparative Civil Procedure — Fabrique des Maquettes Pédagogiques

Informations

Descriptif

This course offers an introduction to comparative civil procedure, focusing on how different jurisdictions administer civil justice. Through a comparative lens, students will explore the structure of courts, sources of procedural law, and the key stages of civil litigation - from pleadings and evidence to judgments, appeals, and enforcement. The analysis will also encompass related areas such as the interaction between arbitration and state courts, collective litigation mechanisms, judicial review, and the economic analysis of litigation. By the end of the course, students are expected to have developed a foundational understanding of both the diversity and convergence of procedural systems across jurisdictions, as well as the analytical tools to critically assess and compare their operation in national and international contexts.
