Educational objectives
The main outcome of the course is the delivery of basic training in the
field of Private law. The course aims to give appropriate legal research
methods and instruments, with the final objective of giving students the
capacity of being able to apply the acquired knowledge in resolving legal
problems, through the teachings of lawmakers, courts and legal scholars.
Prerequisites
The knowledge of the Italian language.
Teaching methods
Metodi didattici:
The course is organized in the following way:
- face to face lectures regarding single topics of the teaching program;
- practical training (4 seminars for the first part and 4 for the second part)
of 2 hours each and concerning some current affairs of Private law.
Students are invited to participate in the lectures bringing an updated
version of the civil code, the Constitution and the most important
relevant legislation. The seminars provide an active involvement of the
students, who will present practical law cases regarding the addressed
matter. Before each seminar the professor will indicate the study material
referring to a recent and significant decision of a law-court that will be
examined by the students during the seminars on the basis of legislation,
judicial precedents and legal literature.
Other information
The attendance to the course is strongly suggested.
Learning verification modality
The final evaluation will be given through an oral exam of approximately
20 minutes. The students’ participation in 5 seminars and the study of
the case law material necessary for the topic of each seminar will exempt
students from the preparation on family law and successions.
Only for attending students, the global evaluation can be divided in two
phases: in addition to the final exam, a written intermediate exam is
provided. This test lasts no longer than 90 minutes and is composed by
20/25 closed questions with multiple answers and one open question,
chosen as an alternative between two outlines given by the professor.
This exam aims to verify the knowledge on the subjects addressed during
the lectures delivered in the first part of the course and the learning and
written communication skills of the single students. The negative result of
this exam will not be considered for the final evaluation.
