Abstract:

The legal training required by the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) model of excellence is based on the acquisition of skills that require the design of new learning methods with flexible and functional characteristics that allow students to acquire solid knowledge from an interdisciplinary approach.

The importance of contract Law as a field on which other laws are based (e.g. Commercial Law) determines a necessary interrelationship between them and promotes close cooperation between teachers of those subjects, in order to provide an overview of a subject with enormous impact in the economic field, such as the procurement of goods and services.

This requires the design of practical interdisciplinary seminars that promote the active process of acquiring skills and strategies to present reality as it is, not divided into areas of law, but interrelated between them to acquire an overview of private contracting.

Starting from the reality that is bank foreclosures for non-payment of mortgages students undertake team work that it is developed through two seminars. The first one is carried out by each of the participating teachers and his group of students with their respective subjects, while the second seminar is unique. In both of them, Law and Bussines students and postgraduate students take part.

FIRST WORK-SHOP
CONSIDERATION OF A CONTRACTS LAW PROBLEM THROUGH A JUDICIAL RESOLUTION
(ICT: Base of legal data and Virtual Campus UCM)

The work is divided into four phases. Selection and analysis of a judgment on the subject, the consequent management of legal databases, the use of the course virtual platform and a visual and oral presentation.

SECOND SEMINAR
MULTIDISCIPLINARY SEMINAR ON FINANCIAL EDUCATION
LOAN CONTRACT AND FINANCIAL PRODUCTS

In the first seminar the top three student teams are selected to present their work in an interdisciplinary seminar for students of Civil Law II (Obligations and Contracts), Commercial Law and graduate students of both disciplines. In the development of the seminar the Commercial Law students must ask questions to the presenting students. In addition, post-graduate students ask questions they deem appropriate and act as moderators in the debate that closes the seminar.
