- This teaching is devoted to provide the basic knowledge of European Private Law.
The main knowledges that students will acquire will be:
- knowledge of the principal steps within the process of construction of European Private Law;
- critical understanding of the legal techniques of unification, harmonization, uniformisation;
- knowledge of the main techniques used to draft European contract Law.
The main skills that allow to apply the acquired knowledge will be:
- identification of the spatial dislocation of civil law and common law models;
- recognition and solution of the main issues in the process of translation of juridical terms and concepts;
- identification of the principal issues to be discussed in developing a coherent and rational system of contract law and tort law. - Prerequisites
- In order to be able to understand and to know how to tackle the course, students must have the basic notions of private law and public or constitutional law.
This precondition is valid for attending and not attending students. - Teaching methods
- The course is organized as follows:
- lectures will deal with all the issues and problems of the course program;
- projections of slides in order to facilitate a better understanding of the topics discussed;
- delivery of learning and teaching materials to be commented, in order to stimulate the active participation of the students. - Other information
- attendance is strongly reccomended.
- Learning verification modality
- The exam includes only the final oral test consisting of a discussion-interview on the topics discussed during the course and examined in-depth through recommended texts.
The test aims at assuring the level of knowledge and understanding, as well as synthesis, achieved by the student. Moreover, this interview will verify that the student is able to communicate, with method, propriety of language, and of exposure, what he has acquired.
The duration of test varies depending on the performance of the test itself. - Extended program
- The course will be structured in two parts.
The first part, with a methodological and interdisciplinary perspective, will be dedicated to the study of the process of construction of European Private Law.
In particular, the main topics will be:
- the critical understanding of the concept of legal tradition;
- the analysis of the relationship between juridical spatiality and geopolitical spatiality;
- the strategical representation of the cultural clash between West and East;
- the competition between Civil Law and Common Law in global context;
- the protean definition of “European private Law”.
The second part, with an operational perspective, will be devoted both to the study of european contract law and to the evaluation of the effectiveness of protection of private rights in Europe.
A further series of lessons will be devoted to the study the genealogy of the doctrine of 'informed consent' in European countries and to the evaluation of tort liability in medical malpractice.
