Once the June examination has taken place. In September and further exams (convocatorias extraordinarias) it will not be taken into account the activities of the student during the course to calculate the grades of these examinations. The exam will consist on a theoretical part (70%) and a practical case (30%). It is necessary to get a grade of 4 in the theoretical part in order to be able to pass the subject.

TRAINING ACTIVITIES
Teaching in the large groupe will focus on both the theoretical and practical knowledge of the matter. Furthermore, the small gropus will particularly focus on the practical side of the subject. Studens will work with legal actual cases in order to be able to use legal data-bases as well as legal codes and statutes. This meant to achieve that the student will be able to understand legal cases, will develop the ability to synthesize legal issues, will draw up basic legal documents, and will be able to resolve the proposed legal problems.
The part-time students ("alumnos a tiempo parcial") will have right to a flexible class attendance system which will not be detrimental to their evaluation system. The evaluation system will be the same as the rest of the students
