Course objectives
Introduce the students to the field of study to other issues of national substantive and procedural criminal law, as well as to the issue of the relationship of both mentioned branches of criminal law to financial law, from the point of view of their interfaces.

Teaching methods
Explanation of the basic theoretical institutes of substantive and procedural criminal law based on the interpretation of principles accompanied by concrete practical cases. Analysis of selected cases and their legal qualifications. Analysis of selected decisions of the courts of the Czech Republic and the European Union. An interactive way of lecturing that responds to any suggestions from the students. All the main issues are presented using a powerpoint presentation, which is accessible in the faculty's information system. Other possible materials also available in the interactive outline.
Assessment methods
Teaching is based on lectures, which assume the active involvement of students. Emphasis is also placed on individual preparation (study of laws, cases, literature and PowerPoint presentations). The course ends with a written exam consisting of theoretical questions and analysis/solution of a case focused on financial law, i.e. application of theoretical knowledge to a specific case. The analysis of the example will evaluate not only the correctness of the chosen solution, but also the ability to justify it.
