The course deals with particular aspects of transnational criminal procedures in procedural, but also substantial law.

One main aspect is mutual legal assistance in criminal matters (domestic acts and treaties). We will discuss extradition, but also other types of cooperation in criminal procedures.

Furthermore, specific aspects of european criminal law such as questions of jurisdiction, the european arrest warrant, the cooperation within Schengen and "ne bis in idem" within Europe will be discussed.

In the academic year 2025/26, this course will not be streamed.

There will be an oral exam of 15 minutes without preparatory time.

Students may use their own documentation, which may be annotated at leisure.

The course requires a regular and active participation. Students are expected to be able to solve problems in the fields of jurisdiction, mutual legal assistance, extradition and european cooperation in criminal matters and to assess those rules critically-

Documents will be made available in the course.
