Types of classes are lectures and seminars. The main forms of student work at the seminar are solving cases (problems) and a report (presentation). Solving cases is carried out by students in writing according to logical methods in the form of an expert opinion. The basics of logical methods and requirements for the implementation and design of the case solution are explained by the teacher at the first seminar. The purpose of the report is to study a current problem of legal regulation or a specific court / arbitration case or category of cases (case study). The report on the problem includes the student's coverage of key problematic aspects of the issue, the use of main literature sources on this issue and the student's personal conclusions. The report on the materials of the court / arbitration case or category of cases provides coverage by the student of the legal positions of the parties, substantive law, which are in question in the case, and the legal opinion in the case.

Types of formative assessment are chosen by the teacher who conducts practical lessons in compliance with the course syllabus. The teacher who conducts seminars processes students’ points scored during coursework and enters them in the student performance evaluation documents. If a student is absent from a seminar for a good reason, he / she may complete the missed lesson in extracurricular time within 7 days after this lesson was missed, during the teacher's consultation. The procedure is carried out by means of oral questioning or another type of task set by the teacher. Points for missed classes are not awarded. At the end of the semester, missed classes are not completed.
