Course Outline
The course is divided into five curricular profiles, designed to offer a balanced and complete combination of courses, even within the scope of optional training activities, and to achieve certain cultural and professional vocations:
- LEGAL
- administrative
- INTERNATIONAL
- BUSINESS
- CRIMINAL-CRIMINOLOGICAL
Among the elective seminars, whose attendance involves the recognition of 1 university training credit (CFU), it is worth mentioning Justice and Literature organized by the Graduate School "Federico Stella" on Criminal Justice (ASGP): it is a seminar cycle on the theme of justice in literature that is inspired by the courses of Law and Literature organized in many English and American universities, but broadening their perspective in an original way. The meetings aim to bring the participants into contact, thanks to the testimonies of eminent writers, literary critics and jurists, with the interpretations of significant texts pertinent to the theme of justice (especially criminal justice), thus refining the openness to interdisciplinary dialogue, the cultural sensitivity and the "sense of justice" of members of the world of professions, not only law, and of students.
Also worthy of mention are the seminars of Forensic Oratory, Business law in China, the "Moot trials" of criminal law and finally the cycle of lessons on Digital law research. Since the academic year 2015/16 the Faculty of Law has been organizing Legal Practice Experiences in administrative law, civil and commercial law, international law, criminal law, according to the Anglo-Saxon academic model of learning by doing. The aim is to convey to students in the last years of the master's degree course some of the skills of the profession of lawyer.
The verification of attendance and learning for the aforementioned seminars involves the recognition of 4 ECTS. For more information on the design of these training activities, please refer to the Faculty Guide (www.unicatt.it/giurisprudenza).
