"...this course was a very nice change from the classic practical
class. A regular seminar normally means doing assignments
and then it is done. This class however was a completely new
way of working. For once it felt like our work was serving
a purpose other than just grading. It felt like we were con-
tributing something to legal research. This was very new and
refreshing and gave me motivation for the class. Lastly, I be-
lieve that this class has made me a better jurist. We have had
to analyze judgments before in other classes, but they were
always handpicked decisions about a certain topic. This class
has given us a wider variety of judgments to read, no matter
the topic. Reading and annotating these judgments has given
me a better understanding of Belgian decisions in general."
