This course surveys the principles, standards,
and rules that govern how civil litigation
proceeds, with a focus on Lebanese courts.
It covers the fundamental and recurrent
problems in civil actions, such as:
- General theory and conditions of
admissibility of a law suit;
- Due process, including the notice and
opportunity to be heard that must be
given to litigants in the Lebanese legal
system;
- Jurisdiction, including the scope of
authority that Lebanese courts have over
disputes and litigants; and
- The stages of litigation.
Language of Instruction: Arabic (legal terms,
however, are also given in English and French).
