Preparation of letters in administrative proceedings in the field of environmental protection

elementary

enter learning outcome code/codes

Knowledge of the basics of administrative procedure.

As part of the course, students will prepare selected letters that occur in administrative proceedings involving environmental issues.

The preparation of letters is intended to expand knowledge and skills relating to the handling of cases settled by administrative proceedings leading to an administrative decision.

Drafting a letter will be a form of consolidation of knowledge about specific issues (e.g. the structure of a power of attorney), learning the legal consequences of submitting a letter and learning the legal consequences of errors contained therein.

The course also includes the analysis of letters from a party from the perspective of a public administration body. Then, it will be connected with preparation by the student of a project of settling a case, both in the case of letters fulfilling legal requirements and those containing defects.
