Are you studying law? New course content you should know about
Subject: Law and Political Science
The Library has added new practical guides on administrative, civil and criminal law.
The learning resources adapt to the uses and needs of the university community. Therefore, every semester we subscribe to new content such as journals and e-books through the Library based on requests from teaching staff or suggestions made by users.
These are the new acquisitions recently added in the field of Law:
Available at: Mementos Edicions Francis Lefebvre
It is an updated and accessible exhaustive manual for quickly finding information about the regulation of civil procedures. The first part analyses the issues common to all jurisdictional systems such as free legal aid and representation and defence of public administrations. Next, it describes the characteristics of each system, civil procedures, modalities and procedural practice. Illustrative examples are included to resolve the most complex issues.
Available at: vLex
A reference work on the main aspects of general administrative law, useful for study and professional practice. It includes information about types of administrative acts, communications and notifications, the concept of administrative silence, bodies, the general state administration, contents by autonomous community, procedures or public procurement.
Available at: vLex
Online guide with the main aspects of civil procedure. It provides specific responses to aspects such as declaratory judgements, special procedures and appeal for annulment and actions. As in the other practical law products of the Vlex platform, you will have access to complementary contents, procedural schemes and forms.
Available at: vLex
It includes all kinds of infringements and penalties as well as a detailed analysis of each phase of the sanctions procedure. It deals with questions such as the principles and guarantees of the procedure, jurisdiction, the actors involved in the criminal procedure, the common formal aspects in criminal procedures and injunctions. Complementary information is included such as highly visual procedural schemes, forms and jurisprudence.
In addition to these newly-acquired guides, Vlex's practical guide to personal data has been updated. The contents have been renewed and a section has been added on guaranteeing digital rights. It reflects on current issues posed by ICTs in terms of law, all of which could prove useful to any UOC student. For example, it deals with doubts about protecting privacy on social media networks or the concepts of the right to be forgotten online and digital disconnection in the labour field.
In the classrooms and the Library, Law students have specialized journals and digital platforms within their reach that will help them with the continuous assessment activities and final degree projects as well as in professional practice.
