GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Legal studies have always been an important component of academic programmes at the
University of Pécs. In the period between 1950- 1971 it was the only faculty that secured the
continuity of the University after WW II. In 2008 the Faculty celebrated the 85th anniversary
of the modern law school in Pécs. The academic eminence of the Faculty is amply illustrated
by the fact that the Constitutional Court of Hungary has a member from the University. The
Faculty has long standing international relations, mainly with German speaking countries, e.
g. with the universities of Marburg, Bayreuth, Vienna, and the law faculty at the University of
Graz. Development became even more dynamic in 1992 when financial support granted by
the World Bank enabled the Faculty to organise study-tours abroad and invite visiting
professors.
The ERASMUS programme provides our teachers and students with new possibilities. The
number of our Erasmus partner universities and, as a result, the number of those taking part in
the mobility programme is increasing year by year, at present the Faculty has 54 Erasmus
partner universities all over Europe.
In recent years the Faculty has established co-operative relations with law faculties in the
former socialist countries (e.g. Kolozsvár, Novi Sad, Rijeka, and Wroclaw) which involve
teacher and student mobility and short visits. The successful CEEPUS (Central European
Exchange Programme for University Studies) applications of the Faculty in the academic
years of 2005/2006 and 2008/2009 lead to setting up the first CEEPUS network operating in
the area of law in Central Eastern Europe. In the first case, the objective was to study the
relationship between three legal systems: international law, European Union law and domestic
laws; in the second case the objective is to study the situation of minorities in the Central
European region. This co-operation resulted in special forms of joint education and training
programmes such as the joint LLM degree programme in Cluj-Napoca, the experimental
tandem-seminar launched in the framework of BA-level education and summer universities.
The Faculty, together with the Faculty of Law of the Babes-Bolyai University of ClujNapoca, launched a joint Master's programme (also accredited in Romania) with instruction
provided in Cluj-Napoca in the academic year of 2005/2006. The language of instruction is
Hungarian, three colleagues from Cluj-Napoca and six colleagues from Pécs are involved in
the programme.
The Faculty is a member of the European organisations ERA and ELFA. The international
relations of certain departments have recently become increasingly stronger. The Department
of Criminal Procedure Law initiated the establishment of the Central European Criminal
Cooperation, involving about a dozen foreign criminal departments and institutes.
The Faculty has no established relations outside Europe, though - upon the initiative of certain
departments - several visiting professors form North-American universities have delivered
lectures at the Faculty.
Interest in learning English has increased considerably and the number of courses offered in
foreign languages is also growing. The postgraduate and PhD courses offered at the Faculty of
Law enjoy increasing popularity. The Collection of the Legal Documents of the European
Union and the United Nations Depository Library were established in 1995 at the Department
of International Law, and they serve as important sources of information for businesses in the
Transdanubian region.

Course title: Languages, Human Rights and Minorities: How to Legislate Linguistic
Diversity? AJDINO0101
Language of instruction: English
Form of teaching: Seminar
Form of assessment: Evaluation of lecture diaries and students' presentations
Course description: The purpose of the course is to discuss some fundamental questions of
linguistic legislation at different levels. The reason why the issue is urgent and must be taken
seriously is that linguistic diversity, like biodiversity, is dramatically decreasing and the
process depends, to some extent, on linguistic legislation, which in turn seems not to be
coherent and satisfactory enough. The course intends to present not only the existing
linguistic regimes and their weaknesses but a perspective of a more coherent and simpler
linguistic legislation which would probably contribute, to a reasonable degree, to the
preservation of linguistic diversity in the world.
1. Linguistic and cultural diversity in the world - past, present and the future; the issue of
responsibility
2. Language, linguistic change and the law: language, mind, communication, identity and
culture; levels of legislation on language use and diversity
3. National legislation on languages - the principle of territoriality (Switzerland, Belgium,
Spain, Finland)
4. National legislation on languages - strong minority language protection (e.g. Austria, Italy,
Slovenia, Hungary, the U.K.)
5. National legislation on languages: weak minority language protection (e.g. France,
Romania, Greece, Slovakia)
6. International language law in the interwar period - the League of Nations
7. International language law after World War II - the United Nations
8. International minority and language protection in Europe after World War II - the Council
of Europe
9. The language question in the European Union - treaty, official and working languages;
minority and lesser used languages
10. The language question in the European Union - language rights and the impact of
economic and political integration on language use
11. The language question in the European Union - challenges and prospects (globalisation
and the European model of globalisation)
12. Legislating linguistic diversity: the question of coherence
13. Legislating linguistic diversity: a new governing principle is needed

Course title: Sustainable Production and Consumption in the EU – The Integrated
Product Policy (Jean Monnet Chair Course) AJDINO0501
Language of instruction: English
Credits (ECTS): 6
Form of teaching: Seminar
Form of assessment: Based on students’ participation in classroom, discussion; presentation
(Ppt) or submission of a paper
Course description: The course explains changes in the traditional way of environmental
policy-making: in addition to emission control and waste management, the integrated
approach covers all stages from the mining of raw materials to the production, distribution,
use, recycling and recovery and final disposal, to reduce the life cycle environmental impacts
of products. During the course the main objectives, principles of the IPP strategy and its key
role in the EU sustainable development strategy will be discussed. The existing and newly
developed policy tools aiming at the creation of incentives for greener production and
consumption patterns as well as the relevant EU laws are examined.
Content of the Course:
1. The principle of integration of environmental requirements into the other policies, the role
of the IPP in the EU Strategy for Sustainable Development. The aim is to promote a market
for greener products that use fewer resources, have lesser impacts on and risks to the
environment, thus improving the competitiveness of the EU industry.
2. The establishment of the IPP at EU level. The integrated product policy approach: the “life
cycle” concept.
3. Key principles of the IPP approach (life cycle thinking, working with the market,
stakeholder involvement, combination of voluntary approaches with mandatory measures,
etc). Further environmental principles to be applied: precaution, substitution, minimisation
and producer responsibility.
4. Product related legislation in the EU: e.g. legislation on the composition of products,
restriction or ban on export-import, marketing and use of chemicals, heavy metals, etc.
5. Ozone depleting substances, the EU policy on climate change.
6. Products from biotechnology, regulation on genetically modified organisms (GMO).
7.
The
EU
chemicals
legislation
and
policy,
the
new
REACH
system.
8. The economic and legal framework of the IPP, its tools and means: price mechanism, taxes
and subsidies, voluntary agreements, standardisation, green public procurement.
9. Environmental managements systems (EMAS), product design obligations (eco-design),
environmental labelling (the “European flower”).
10. The new concept of producer responsibility (an extension of the producer’s obligation for
environmental impacts of products arising prior to and after the production phase, i.e.
responsibility for the choice of raw materials, energy sources, for impacts during the
consumption/use phase as well as for impacts of waste generated by products after the end of
their useful life-time). Examples of EU regulation of producer responsibility: Directives on
packaging and packaging waste; batteries and accumulators containing certain dangerous
substances; end-of life vehicles; waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
