Università Roma Tre

The aim of the activity will be the knowledge of the canonical jurisprudence on matrimonial cases with particular reference to the jurisprudence of the Roman Rota and any cases of Apostolic Penitentiary.

To this end will be provided the main theoretical notions regarding canonical marriage and its elements and the canonical procedure for obtaining marriage nullity. These will be followed by the analysis of some jurisprudential cases.

The student will thus be able to evaluate how the jurisprudence of the Roman Rota guides the jurisprudence of the local canonical courts.
