Università Roma Tre

The general part of the course aims at introducing to the study of law, starting with the basic concepts of jurisprudence. The expected goal is to provide students with the understanding of the fundamental logic of the juridical phenomenon, learning how to tackle and discuss legal problems and gain a good command of legal terminology.
The special part of the course aims at sketching the basic features of private law in the Western legal tradition, moving from its general concepts and then focusing on the main similarities and differences detectable among the legal traditions of civil law and common law. A particular focus is dedicated to the process of Europeanization of private law, with specific attention to the rules aiming at regulating market transactions and protecting consumers. The expected goal is to provide students the understanding of the main problematic areas that private law addresses not only at a national but especially at a supra- and trans-national level.
During the course groups of students are given an assignment. The expected goal is to train students in addressing legal issues by drawing up a memorandum and/or a presentation.
