The course focuses on the role of method in civil law. Specifically, the program is divided into the following modules: (i) Method and disciplinary fields; (ii) Social order, constitutionalism and private law; (iii) Law and technology; (iv) Transactions and risk: private law and the market; (v) Categories.

A. For attending students:
a) a selection of essays discussed by the Professor among the lessons, collected in a single index and made available through the Moodle platform

B. For non attending students:
a) N. LIPARI, Il diritto civile tra legge e giudizio, Milano, Giuffrè, 2017;
b) A. ZOPPINI, Il diritto privato e i suoi confini, Bologna, Il Mulino, 2019.

The programme is divided into two parts, which are interrelated. The first aims to examine the relationship between judge and law, in its problematic aspects and in the diachronic dimension. In the second, the focus will be on remedies, as instruments of response to the violation of a right or the failure to satisfy a legally recognised interest.
