Child-law deals with issues that specifically concern children's legal position, often based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. This means that the subject passes across different areas of law and focuses on the influence of international law on national law enforcement. Through six workshops, the students will work with practical and theoretical issues in identifying children's rights and how they are implemented in practice. The themes are frequently based on current issues regarding children and young people's meeting with the authorities. For instance concerning integration, crime, imprisonment, violation or abuse, migration or other relevant problems. In connection to this, students will also be asked to deal with questions regarding the legal consequences of a possible breach of children's rights. The six workshops are thematically dealing with children’s civil and political rights and economic, social and cultural rights. The course is interdisciplinary within the field of law and provides the students with skills that are relevant to a wide range of legal professions.
