AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of the course, students will acquire the methodological tools and advanced skills of European-derived substantive law, knowledge and understanding of horizontal and vertical decision-making processes in the field of the internal market and the economy, will be able to understand and analyse current legal issues in European economic law, and will be able to independently develop possible solutions to open questions.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

Attendance and active participation will enable the student to:
(i) take up the essential features of the European Union's legal system (institutions, competences, sources, relations with domestic law);
(ii) identify the European legal sources capable of affecting the regulation of economic relations;
(iii) identify the principles underlying the European economic Constitution;
(iv) to understand how the "multilevel" regulation of these relations affects economic law, identifying the relationship between the rules aimed at affecting the same matter and the correct approach to possible antinomies;
(v) learn to critically analyse EU legal and case-law material.

TEACHING METHODS

36 hours of classes  delivered by the teacher (Mraia Elena De Maestri) with the involvement of the students in presenting and discussing the fundamental cases of characterizing the European integration process.

Classes will follow the order of the topics as pointed out in the program and highlighted in aulaweb.

For the students attending of the lectures, teaching materials (such as the main sources of reference, texts of decisions and slides) aimed at integrating the contents of the recommended bibliography as well as at helping the students will be available on the aula web page of the teaching.

In order to encourage active participation and foster the development of analytical and argumentative skills, case studies and legal problems will be proposed and their solutions discussed in class. In addition, key judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) will be presented and discussed by students. The course therefore employs innovative teaching methods, including case-based learning and the flipped classroom approach.
