AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course aims to provide students with not only the institutional notions relating to the program, but also the ability to use these notions to construct a legal argument relating to specific cases. The main purpose of both modules of the course is to provide students with basic knowledge, study methods and interpretative tools to be able to independently identify, understand and apply the regulatory provisions that regulate the conduct of legal relationships between private parties. More specifically, the course aims to provide students with an understanding of the system of the civil code, to familiarize them with its consultation, with the technical-legal terminology and, through some case examples, with the application of legal reasoning.
