- The main objective of the course is to provide basic training in the field of
Family and children law. The course aims at teaching appropriate
legalr esearch methods and instruments, with the final objective of giving
students the capacity to apply the acquired knowledge in resolving legal
problems, through the teachings of lawmakers, courts and
legal scholars. - Prerequisites
- The knowledge of Italian language and Private Law is required.
- Teaching methods
- The course is organized in the following way: - face to face lectures
regarding single topics of the teaching program; - practical training
(seminars) concerning some current affairs on the subject.
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 students’ attendance to the course is strongly suggested.
The professor receives students for about an hour after each lecture. The
student has to send an e-mail to arrange the date and the time of the
reception. - Learning verification modality
- The final evaluation will be given through an oral exam of approximately
20 minutes. This final exam consists of 3/4 questions concerning the
whole teaching program and it aims at verifying the level of knowledge,
the learning and communication skills of the single students. Only for
attending students, the global evaluation can be divided in two optional
phases. The first intermediate evaluation test is written and
regards the first module of the teaching program and its passing will
exempt students from the preparation on the first module subjects; it

questions with multiple answers and one open question. The second
intermediate exam consists of a presentation, lasting about 15 minutes,
