- Extended program
- An important part of the course is so dedicated to the study of judicial cases, including recent ones, with attention both to the arguments of the hearing phase of the trials and to the arguments presented in the indictments or arguments of the parties no less than in the sentences. In this line, in particular, some sentences of the Italian Court of Cassation will be analyzed with reference to those defects that are called logicality defects. Alongside the analysis of logical arguments particularly widespread in the judicial field, such as the argument of authority, by analogy, by definition, etc., the fallacies will also be studied, i.e. those arguments endowed with an appearance of logic but in reality lacking it. Such erroneous or fallacious arguments are often contained in classic but still current sophisms.
