Abstract

This paper presents teaching experiences in a course offered to bachelor students at a faculty of law in the Netherlands. It aims to enable educators to replicate or utilise (parts of) the experiences in other environments. The paper explores the various characteristics of the course: its niche within the Law and Literature-movement; it being research-based (for students as well as tutors), rather than content- (or canon) based; its structure and objectives; and its role in terms of legal education with an academic context. In that last regard, the paper connects to legal history, thought, and philosophy.
