Skrócony opis: (tylko po angielsku)

The objective of the course is to introduce students to Polish law and society through the lenses of Law and Society, a multiparadigmatic empirical discipline studying law in the social context. The course will use the findings from recent research to explain how the law works in the Polish context. While doing this, the course will also familiarize students with concepts and terminology of such fields as the sociology of law, law and economics, and law and policy. The themes to be discussed will include topics such as impacts of politics on law and the rule of law backsliding, economic, ethnic and psychosocial identity-based inequality and discrimination in law, social determinants of working of legal institutions, the specifics of the legal profession, meaning and impact of the legal culture on the working of the law. Whilst the course is primarily aimed at incoming Erasmus students, Polish students are cordially invited to participate.
