The course of Fundamental Rights aims at reconstructing theories and models of fundamental rights’ protection.

In the practical part of the course, the analysis is carried out through the reference to the most significant constitutional jurisprudence, to the case-law of the European Union and to international jurisprudence, with specific regard to the challenges coming from new technologies.
