Università Roma Tre

The Course consists of lectures and case law discussion, meant to encourage active students participation. Each case will be examined in the context of its specific jurisdiction and through comparative overview. Student evaluation will be based on class work, oral presentations, and a final paper. Academic papers, cases and materials will be made available in class and on the website. The Course is divided in five parts: I. Historical and contemporary perspectives (Lectures). II. The role of government, public powers and duties, and human rights (Case Discussion). III. Delegation, expertise and contracting out (Case Discussion). IV. Cost-benefit analysis, administrative procedures and transparency (Case Discussion). V. Judicial review and administrative litigation (Case Discussion).
