COURSE CONTRIBUTION TO PROGRAM
This course, which follows on from Constitutional Law I, contributes to the Bachelor in Law degree by fostering the skills students need to participate in proceedings before the Constitutional Court and in actions taken by public authorities in applying the Spanish Constitution. In particular, our focus centres on the study of State and Autonomous Community legal sources as well as the system distributing competencies between the State and the Autonomous Communities.
Course Learning Objectives
The student should be able to:
- Advise and participate in all manner of legal actions related to preparing and approving norms by national and Autonomous Community institutions, as well as applying and interpreting the different types of norms in the Spanish legal system.
- Advise and participate in all manner of proceedings before the Constitutional Court, especially as regards processes to ensure the constitutionality of the various laws and competency suits between the national and Autonomous Community governments.
- Know the different types of competencies as well as their distribution in the established Autonomous Community system as regards constitutionality and the ways in which collaborative relations between the State and the Autonomous Communities and amongst the Autonomous Communities themselves are structured.
