Students attending classes can prepare the final examination on lecture notes, following guidelines provided during the lessons.

Teaching methods

Generally lectures are based on the relevant normative provisions and, possibly, on scholarly literature and Court's case-law.

Assessment methods

Final examination is oral (approximately 30-45 minutes) and generally consists in 3 questions/topics on course contents; the student must reply correctly to 2 out of 3 questions at least to pass the exam.

Final examination is based on textbook's contents and, for students attending classes, on lectures' content; anyway, accordingly with personal interests on specific topics, programmes partially different from the official one can be agreed.

Teaching tools

Computer (Internet access), projector, blackboard.

Lectures are generally conducted by projecting the text of legal sources related to the topics analysed.
