Syllabus
Syllabus ( plural syllabi ) is a pseudo- Latin (originally Greek, from συλλαμβάνω, I take, put together) expression for register, index, list, extract, summary.
church
Syllabus was used as a term by Pope Pius IX. and used by Pope Pius X in 1907 to publish a summary of theological ostracisms (a list and rejection of time errors) on December 8, 1864 ; see Syllabus errorum and Lamentabili .
Academic education
Today the term syllabus is used to denote the summary or overview of a course, event or study module. This includes the name of the lecturer, the tutor, a brief description of the event, learning objectives, literature, type of implementation, dates, language, etc. A syllabus thus describes the organizational framework of an event.
Syllabus is often used synonymously with course concept (see e.g. ECDL ).
Legal system
In legal language, the term refers to the summary presentation of a case, which is placed before a judicial or similar decision. It contains a description of the facts, the positions of those involved and a brief mention of the decisions made. In Germany, the term ` ` offense '' has become common practice, even if it is used diffusely and at the same time for the factual component of legal norms (→ offense and legal consequence ).
A syllabus can - but does not have to - be drawn up by the decision-making body; its core is only required to fix and justify its decision.
The legal meaning of a syllabus differs depending on the legal system:
Germany
In Germany, the offense contains the factual findings that an institution made in order to make its decision. This is also an aspect of procedural economy and effective legal protection . If errors occur here, those involved can request a correction of the facts .
United States
In the USA, the syllabus is not part of the decision and usually has no legal role. An exception is in the state of Ohio , where courts are required to draft a syllabus. This is part of the court decision.
Otherwise, however, syllabi are usually written by the legal publishers who publish collections of decisions, or, on a case-by-case basis, the courts if they consider this to be relevant. Even then, a syllabus is not part of your decision.
