Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, a student will acquire a very good knowledge of the Italian procedural system, not only regarding the process structure, but also passing through an extensive discussion about constitutional and general principles.
The purpose is twofold: on one hand to know the concepts, the notions and the main theories of the system of procedural law; on the other hand, to acquire the skills that consist in applying the knowledge acquired to the concrete case.
Course contents
For the course "laurea magistrale» the program is:
General principles; ordinary proceedings; appeals; enforcement proceedings; interim relief; special proceedings; arbitration; mediation; European procedural rules.
The matter «Arbitration» is not included in the program if
students have already passed or are going to take the exam of
«Domestic and international arbitration".

Teaching methods
Lectures will be done by prof.ssa Elena Zucconi Galli Fonseca (charged of the course) and dott.ssa Giulia Canella.
Teaching will be divided into lectures, with presentation of the topics covered by the course, through the use of slides, examination of case law on specific issues and the analysis of judicial documents. Students are expected to participate actively, with presentations to the class of specific topics or case law.
Students will be able to retrace what has been done during the lesson through the registration (which can be done on the teacher's website) in the e-learning virtual course, organized for individual topics; here the students can find all related materials, the references to pages of the text, some useful insights, self-assessment tests and others. The virtual course will also be used for the preparation of the simulated case and for the other activities carried out by the participants during the lessons.
In the second semester, a simulated process with special tutors, a visit to attend a forced sale and a meeting dedicated to one or more forensic professions will be organized.
The course will take place on the first and the second semester and the exam could be taken only since the month of may (end of the second semester).
In the second part of the academic year a mock trial will be arranged.
The thesis will be agreed directly with the teacher: more detailed seminars will be provided
Assessment methods
Oral examination
The exam will focus on the topics indicated in the "Course contents" section.
The evaluation of the test will be carried out taking into consideration:
• knowledge of institutional profiles • ability to analyze the jurisprudential and doctrinal guidelines; • ability to make connections between the different parts of the program; • ability to develop critical arguments; • articulation of the exposure; • exposure accuracy
By way of example, the following criteria will be used to assign the final mark (that will be out of 30/30):
- knowledge of a very limited number of topics, extensive support by the interviewer to address and answer the questions, basic yet appropriate language à 18-19/30;
- knowledge of a limited number of topics, ability to autonomously address basic legal problems, use of appropriate language → 20-24/30;
- comprehensive knowledge of the programme, ability to autonomously and critically analyse legal problems, use of specific terminology → 25-29/30;
- extensive knowledge of the programme, ability to reason autonomously and critically analyse legal problems, make connections between the topics, ability to master the specific terminology and ability to present legal arguments. → 30-30L/30.
Thesis
Frequency is a preferential criteria: the argument will be chosen after a meeting with professor Elena Zucconi Galli Fonseca.
Teaching tools
Presentations and other material (doctrine, jurisprudence, etc.) will be used during lessons; the student will then be able to rethink the lessons learned by accessing the virtual course in e-learning.
Students who for reasons of disability or specific learning disabilities (DSA) need compensatory tools will be able to inform the teacher of their needs so as to be directed to the Referents and agree on the adoption of the most appropriate measures.
