Organizational Units
The organizational units of the Faculty of Law comprise the departments and the groupings.
The Faculty of Law is divided into three departments: Private Law, Public Law and Criminal Law. The respective departmental assemblies are composed of all lecturers, two assistants, a representative of the administrative staff and a delegate of the students of the respective subject area.
Their tasks include, in particular, the planning of the range of lectures, development planning and the promotion of young academics in their fields as well as the application for teaching assignments to the Faculty Assembly.
