Educational objectives
The main objective of the course is to provide basic training in the field of Private law. The course aims at teaching appropriate legal research 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 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 before and 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 4/5 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 optional phases: in addition to the final exam, two intermediate evaluation tests are provided: the first is written. The second is oral and consists of a presentation, lasting about 15 minutes, based on the research, study and comment of a judicial decision regarding one of the central issus of the course. The scope of this second evaluation is to check applying knowledge and understanding, making autonomous judgements and communication ability of students.
