AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The programme is divided in two sections: the first part is devoted to the analysis of the institutional aspects of the EU, featured by the study of the structure of the international organisation, sources of law and jurisdictional protection; the second part is centred on the discipline of the internal market and other EU policies, characterised by the study of the main principles and the main case-law of the ECJ which contributed to the development of Eu law.

Teaching aims:

- knowledge of the institutional structure and EU procedimental rules;

- knowledge of the system of EU law sources;

- knowledge of the single market rules;

- ability to re-elaborate the principles and rules under consideration and to apply such knowledge to actual cases;

- ability to interpret and systematically construe the legal rules.

TEACHING METHODS

Teaching is offered by lectures directly held by the Professor (60 hours), during which the main notions of Eu law will be analysed in light of relevant case-law pf the ECJ. The calendar of the lectures and further materials will be uploaded on Aulaweb.

During Lectures sessions which will involve the active aprticipation of students will be scheduled, mainly within the second part of the teaching,. Students will be given decisions of the court to be analysed and presented to the class.  During those sessions the lecturer will build the lecture upon the considerations and analysis offered by the student.
