The purpose of the discipline is to provide students with a solid knowledge of the basic legal concepts and principles that are relevant for the various professions in the media and communication area. The main attention is drawn to constitutional rights and warranties, with the purpose of giving students the ability to discern the legal implications of their future activities and to find the guiding principles in day-to-day situations. The crucial feature of a good learning in this discipline is not the acquisition of detailed legal information, even less the mastering of legal theories, but rather the development of a strong legal awareness in the respective field and the capacity to make balanced assessments of often conflicting legal values.
