Presentation

The Laboratory is strong of around 40 professors/researchers and hosts 2 thematic teams : the CRIDEAU (Interdisciplinary Research Centre for Environmental, Urban Planning and Development Law) and the CDES (Centre for the Law and Economics of Sport). The lab wished to group the activities of the teams together around a joint work programme : “Justice and protection of fundamental rights” and focuses on four specific scientific programmes :

• changes in French law as a result of the influence of human rights (ECHR, limits of traditional judicial responses)
• the administration of legal systems in Europe (administration of justice and assessment of legal systems in Europe) • Justice, activities of general interest and protection of social rights
• justice, risks, health, well-being. This research programme has been assessed by the AERES (French Evaluation Agency for Research and Higher Education, A+) and approved by the French Ministry for Higher Education and Research.
