Short Program
The course deals with the regulation of the religious factor in European legal systems, starting from the analysis of the historical evolution of the forms of interaction between secular law and religious phenomena in the West. The analysis is addressed in particular to the Italian legal system, in a comparative perspective and in the context of the sources and jurisprudence of European institutions. It focuses on the role of religions in multicultural societies, sustainable development, social justice and peace..

COURSE PROGRAM

Intercultural law is a methodology for the analysis and practical management of relations between legal systems and cultural and/or religious diversity. The need to develop and disseminate this methodology is a consequence of the progressive increase on the social scene of three factors:
(a) the increasing mobility of individuals on a transnational scale;
(b) the rapid processes of modification and pluralization of the ethno-cultural social composition of nation-states or regional politico-legal areas;
(c) the deterritorialization of intersubjective relations that give rhythm to legal experience, and the progressive non-coincidence or diffraction between the space in which the legal actions of individuals or groups unfold and the territorial scope proper to individual state systems.

The intercultural approach to law and cultural/religious differences differs, both in theoretical and practical terms, from private international law and comparative law in that it focuses on translating cognitive and behavioral habits into legal terms rather than primarily into legal rules. Its methodological and operational axes are based on three main assumptions:
(x) people are not norms
(y) cultures are not repertoires of customs but rather cognitive apparatuses;
(z) religions cannot be reduced to "religious denominations" and their relationship to law, and particularly to the law of democratic and secularized countries, must be analyzed with reference to the anthropological content of the categories underlying legal experience.
The legal-intercultural methodology that will be illustrated during the course focuses on the translation into legal terms of conduct engaged in by subjects belonging to cultures other than the Western one, or to religions outside the cultural-anthropological area of Christianity. This translational task, in turn, is aimed at determining the meaning of such conduct with a specific view to its proper legal qualification. The urgency of developing and acquiring the ability to handle cultural and religious difference in this way is closely related to democratic coexistence among people with different cognitive and value models and the need to set up everyday intersubjective relations in ways that are effectively in accordance with the law. These goals are also functional in removing socio-communicative obstacles that may in fact limit the freedom and equality of subjects of law and thus compromise their enjoyment of the prerogatives established by the positive legal system itself.
The course program will first address the analysis of the relationship between law, culture and religion in so-called secular legal systems. It will be articulated in practical terms through the examination of the main institutes of civil and criminal legal experience in order to grasp and underscore the incidence of cognitive-cultural and religious patterns in the semantics of individuals' conduct with respect to the application of positive law to concrete cases. Thus, for example, socio-legal practice will be considered in relation to the problems that may arise both for individuals and for the professionals assisting them, or for the judges who must judge their conduct, as an implication of the cultural and religious diversity of the parties involved, with reference to:
1. the conclusion of a contract (with people of different culture or religion), and so also
2. the management of labor relations;
3. and again, to the understanding and sanctioning of criminal conduct;
4. to business activities;
5. the arrangement of administrative practices;
6. the legal framework related to family, marriage and the regulation of the education of children;
7. the legal regulation of inheritance.

A further section of the course will concern the relationship between the secularization of law and religious traditions. The subject-matter of the lectures will be, in this regard, a detailed critical analysis of secularization in the field of law. The issue takes place in an entirely practical context. It can be effectively summarized in some sample questions. Is it possible to imagine a contract negotiation, for example, between a person of Italian culture and a person of Chinese culture disregarding their respective cultural and religious patterns? As well as come to the contract conclusion while ignoring the relationship between their actions and, respectively, the Christian and Confucian ethical-moral traditions? And this, especially, when considering the extraordinary anthropological impact of these traditions on the cognitive and behavioral patterns of both parties? Think about—as just one example—evaluative standards such as good faith and fairness, but also institutions such as contractual error, the lawfulness/unlawfulness of the cause in relation to the expectations of the parties, and the value/meaning each attributes to the object of the contract and its components. And again, is it possible to adequately interpret a will (especially a holographic one) drafted by a person of a culture that is different from that of the legal interpreter without knowing the anthropological and, specifically, cognitive-ethical patterns underlying their models concerning the intergenerational transmission of assets? Is it possible to qualify in terms of criminal relevance the conduct of a person of a different religion without understanding the relationship extant between that conduct and the meaning s/he attaches to single gestures on the basis of religiously derived anthropological patterns? And, more specifically, is it legally justifiable to disregard the difference in cognitive patterns of cultural and/or religious sources when distinguishing between ‘ignorantia facti’ and ‘ignorantia legis’, crushing the first over the second one—and, what is worse, consider the former ‘excusat’ and the latter ‘non’?
The list of issues raised requires a reconstructive analysis. It includes a cultural-historical and anthropological investigation. As such, it must address the broad resilience of cognitive and axiological patterns that derive from Christian theological-moral doctrines and that connote the legal lexicon of secularized Western legal systems. To this end, the course will examine the historical-conceptual influence of canon law and Christian moral theology in the formation of many current institutions of Western secular civil and criminal law. An influence that results in the presence in the legal lexicon of many Western legal systems--such as Italy's--of a pervasive legal theology. All of this raises the tremendously difficult and pressing question of whether this religious-cultural feature of many national legal lexicons can be combined with the demands (and promises) of universality and rationality inherent in Western secular legal modernity.
In its final part, the course will illustrate the technique of intercultural and interreligious legal translation as a solution in line with constitutional principles and human rights, and directed at overcoming the implicit, but no less pervasive, inequalities and discriminations arising from the cultural incompleteness of modern processes of secularization and, therefore, the universalization of legal experience.
Overall, the course aims to equip the law student, i.e., the jurist of tomorrow, with the interpretive and implementation tools that are indispensable for managing their activities in social circuits that are increasingly marked by, in sequence, the impact of globalization, the transnational mobility of individuals and, therefore, the demands of coexistence among people of different cultures and religions.

The Course firstly aims to provide, through the main available technical and scientific data, an understanding of the state of health of the Planet starting from the identification of the main biogeophysical processes that regulate the stability and resilience of the Earth system. In application of the Planetary Boundaries theory, existing critical issues and their causes will be highlighted.
The main documents of international environmental law and its evolution over the past fifty years will then be analyzed.
It will then move on to an illustration of European environmental law, highlighting the main rules of the Law of Treaties, the secondary law and the most relevant communications in recent years including the European Green Deal. The important role of action plans and European courts in the evolution of environmental law will be analysed. A special focus will be dedicated to the principles of environmental law, the concept of circular economy in its various meanings, and the systemic approach needed to face complexity.
In national law, the prominence of environmental issues in the Constitutional text and in the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court will be explored, as well as the norms of the Environment code with the various sectoral disciplines (waste, remediation, air, water, soil, etc.) with the various jurisprudence applying them.
It will examine whether we can speak of a real change in the economic Constitution of the country and the interactions between the economy and environmental protection, the concept of sustainable production. Special emphasis will be given to the administrative law of the environment (subjects of environmental policies, measures, proceedings, environmental and strategic impact assessments etc.).
It will be concluded by attempting to highlight the evolutionary process found in the discipline of environmental law today.

During the Academic Year 2019/2020 lessons have been entirely online. The course started on March 16th, during the strict lockdown: we did not have a single live lesson, not even one.
The lessons and class activities were not, however, subject of a deep rethinking, only the SSPLC program had a much smaller operational field (just payment systems).
We verified the raise of cyber attacks, surely related to the COVID-19 pandemic: given the billions of people globally that have been forced to stay at home, many transactions have shifted online. With employees largely working from home, attackers saw multiple areas of vulnerability: telecommunications, e-commerce and financial services industries have been increasingly impacted by COVID-19 online fraud, all have large digital adoption, financial information and payments at the center of their online experience, and fared relatively well compared to other industries during the pandemic.
Our objectives have been to understand deeply the scam mechanisms, collect technical information on how the frauds work. In terms of legal activity, our work was exclusively focused on giving legal advices, given the impossibility of in presential meeting with clients.

Specific aims of the SSPLC is to combine both the clinical approach and the ADR promotion.
In Italy, in fact, we have the Banking and Financial Ombudsman (Arbitro Bancario Finanziario, ABF), an out-of-court settlement scheme for disputes between customers and banks and other financial intermediaries, established in 2009 by the Bank of Italy to introduce an alternative mechanism that is faster and less expensive than civil litigation.

The theorical lessons (especially those at the beginning of the Course) are in fact integrated with the practical point of view, with the copresence in each lesson of the clinic counselor. So students work both under the academic teacher’s supervision, and the lawyer co-supervision.

Cases are assigned to team, variably of three/four students.
At the beginning of the course, individual work is preferred, since the team work requires an extra effort for the student. Accomplish a good team work skills in group assignments is considered one of the goals of the SSPLC.
A) Analysis of the case: especially, comprehension of the facts
First step is to verify that the clinic is competent Ratione materiae (consumer law); the parties involved fall under the definition of “consumer” and “trader”: Art. 2, par. 1, n. 1, Dir. 2011/83: «any natural person who, in contracts covered by this Directive, is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession» « any natural person or any legal person, irrespective of whether privately or publicly owned, who is acting, including through any other person acting in his name or on his behalf, for purposes relating to his trade, business, craft or profession in relation to contracts covered by this Directive».
Then the second step is to really understand the facts: preparing legal strategies requires having, absorbing and comprehending large amounts of information (this involves ability to listen, ability to ask questions). Facts matter (standard burden of proof applies).

B) Methodology
Cases are analyzed according to a method which is determined by the clinical staff and the lawyer collaborating with the clinic.
Most of the time the first follow-up of the case is a request of advice by a national consumer association. The case is presented to the class by the clinical teacher and the lawyer.
Clinicians have first to check the legal basis. Then they determine whether the case has any merit and, if so, whether there are any viable defenses.
1) IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM (Theory):
A) FACTS:
i. Identify key information (which will set the context for the problem) and unclear terms and concepts (ensure that everyone understands the technical terms used; ensure that everyone has a similar understanding of the situation described in the problem: people have different modes of thinking about facts).
ii. Define the problem: investigate and organize facts.
iii. Analyze the problem (even with a critical point of view): «what really happened?»

B) LEGAL ANALYSIS:
i. Identify and qualify the legal issue: the client provides the clinicians with facts, not a list of legal theories
ii. Identify the applicable norms: the current legal framework in the consumers’ and small savers’ area is fragmented identify rules set by primary and sub-primary source; taking into account also rules other than consumer law (e.g.: banking law, EBA Opinions ecc.)
iii. Share the results with the rest of the clinicians. Cite the resources used. Discuss if there is a case.

2) POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS (Action: if there is a case)
i. Check the available evidence to support the client’s position (standard burden of proof applies).
ii. Try to settle (again: facts matter; better facts make for better settlements)
iii. Draft the claim (in groups): with participatory approaches and ICT-based methodologies
iv. Review of the claim by the lawyer

C) Drafting of the claim
Students will: (i) learn to use legal databases, which they were not previously familiar with (two lessons are entirely dedicated to teach students how to conduct a computer-assisted legal research); (ii) prepare written advice (iii) work in the class only with laptops (theirs or the ones provided by the Faculty), as they will learn to share document in clouds, use just one draft shared by the all class, mark it up and make it circulate by email;
-the entire ABF/ACF procedure is online, so that students will face with online dispute resolution (ODR).

Students will receive the relevant materials during class.

Fundamental rights in the historical evolution of legal systems - The rights of liberty - The social rights - The "new" rights - Fundamental rights and constitutional duties - The catalog of rights in the Italian Constitution - The mechanisms for the protection of rights.

LAW AND HUMANITIES 2023/’24



COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The course will first provide an introduction to the law and the humanities movement in general and then focus on several different, even if strictly connected, fields of study: e.g. law and literature, law and music, law and fiction, law and history, law and religion, law and truth, law and society. The course will question the traditional isolation of legal studies in analyzing law with reference to the other social sciences and, more generally, to a larger cultural context. Texts, symbols and representations, which have greatly influenced popular understanding of law, will be discussed in thematic weeks by professors coming from different parts of Italy and of the world.

COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- to introduce students to the law and the humanities movement.
- to investigate the benefits of interdisciplinary studies.
- to develop a critical approach to legal texts.
- to understand law in the wider context of social sciences
- to stress the importance of the cultural context for a better understanding of law in the past as well as the present

ASSESSMENT TOOLS:
Final grades will be based on:
• Participation in class
• Midterm written work
• Final, oral exam

ATTENDANCE POLICY:
Attendance in class is compulsory to be admitted to the final examination, which will cover all the topics discussed during the course.

READING MATERIAL:

Every thematic week will be associated to introductory papers which will be progressively uploaded on the ‘Roma Tre’ Moodle platform.

This course offers students the opportunity to work on complex and cutting-edge questions of international law through preparation for, and participation in, a distinguished international law moot competition. In the process, students will develop and refine advanced legal research and advocacy skills. The moot competitions will usually include the Philip C Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition, the pre-eminent global mooting competition in international law. Students will be expected to attend sessions on research methodology, and then to undertake intensive research in international law, prepare written submissions and develop oral submissions which are then refined through mooting practice.
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
- undertake international legal research
- analyse and synthesise international legal information and materials
- apply international law to complex issues, and critique the law from a practical perspective, either individually or as part of a team
- prepare appropriate and practical written and oral arguments for a specialist legal audience
- reflect on their abilities to effectively undertake legal work as a member of a team.

Students will receive a reader which will include selected articles and excerpts from relevant literature on methodology in legal research

This course focuses on competition law from a comparative perspective (with particular reference to the European Union and the United States). It aims to provide students with the tools for understanding antitrust policies and their concrete implementation through the study of EU and US legislation, case law and enforcement practice. The course also includes in-depth analysis of specific topics related to sectors of interest (including digital markets) and the intersections between competition law and other areas of law, such as intellectual property law.
More in detail, it will cover:
The objectives of competition law;
Essentials of US antitrust law;
The role of competition rules in the EU;
Market power, market definition and barriers to entry;
Article 101 TFEU; Section 1 Sherman Act;
Article 102 TFEU; Section 2 Sherman Act;
Competition law and regulation;
Public and private enforcement;
Mergers (essentials)

Course textbook:

In addition to cases examined during lessons, a selection of readings will be recommended, mainly from the following textbook:

R. Whish – D. Bailey, Competition Law, Oxford University Press 2024- selected chapters (see moodle)

Course description:
The “International Humanitarian Law Legal Clinic” (IHL Legal Clinic) has been established in 2016 to permit students to acquire a sound knowledge on international humanitarian law, cooperate on a pro bono basis on projects with leading international and national institutions operating in this area and develop significant skills and a humanitarian-oriented approach beneficial for their competences, future professional activities and civil awareness. The IHL Legal Clinic is an optional course (7 CFU) opens to students from Roma Tre and those involved in exchange programmes (eg. Erasmus) qualifying for a final mark. The working language is English (students can also qualify for ‘Lingua giuridica’).

So far students involved in the Roma Tre IHL Legal Clinic have provided support to some of the most relevant international and domestic stakeholders as: The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC); Amnesty International; NATO (Allied Command Operations Legal Office at SHAPE); Geneva Call; the Italian Red Cross, IHL Commission; the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (see below ‘Past Projects’).

In 2024/2025 students of the IHL Legal Clinic will:
A) Acquire a sound knowledge of international humanitarian law through introductory lectures.
B) Be involved in research and practice-oriented projects commissioned by relevant stakeholders as International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and Geneva Call (TBC). See below for further details: ‘2024-2025 Projects’;
C) Be involved in dissemination activities after the completion of the clinical project with relevant stakeholders and partner institutions.

A selection process will permit to identify interested students due to some limits related to the management of the IHL Legal Clinic – eg. max. around 10/12 students (see below ‘relevant dates and application process’). Any student enrolled at the Department of Law (including Erasmus students or other foreign students involved in exchange projects) are invited to join the selection process.

Course Learning Objectives
• To provide students with a proper understanding of international humanitarian law and its relevance in the regulation of armed conflicts. A preliminary set of lectures managed by Prof. Bartolini will permit students to get familiar with international humanitarian law and issues of public international law relevant for this course. It is not required for students to have previously attended courses on public international law or international humanitarian law.
• To permit students to professionally interact with international institutions acting in the area of international humanitarian law through the participation in research projects and clinical activities commissioned by organizations partners to the Roma Tre IHL Legal Clinic
• The IHL Legal Clinic is inspired by a ‘learning by doing’ approach permitting students to develop their competences in legal research, drafting, writing and organization of activities, to facilitate the transfer of theoretical analysis into a practical and humanitarian-oriented perspective.

Course Learning Activities:
To achieve the above objectives, students will have to:
• Actively participate in the projects of the IHL Legal Clinic;
• Acquire a sound knowledge of international humanitarian law also through the textbook.
• Engage in class discussions/debates.

Assessment tools and attendance policy:
Students will be assessed on the basis of their contribution to the projects carried out the IHL Legal Clinic. Projects developed by the IHL Legal Clinic also require students to prepare draft reports and other preliminary material to be presented in class. Students are expected to participate in all classes as attendance is mandatory.

2024/2025 Projects and activities of the IHL Legal Clinic:
The IHL Legal Clinic will be managed in two phases:
A) Students will get familiar with international humanitarian law: Prof. Bartolini will manage
a series of lectures aimed to make students familiar with international humanitarian law (October-mid November 2024 see calendar below). Presentations by external speakers as officers of the Armed Forces will also be arranged. Students will be required to get familiar with the textbook: Nils Melzer, International Humanitarian Law. A Comprehensive Introduction (downloadable for free here). Relevant sections of the textbook will be discussed in class.

B) Clinical activities: From mid-November onwards, students will start to manage research projects involving relevant stakeholders.
In particular students will work on:
- Partnership with the International Committee of the Red Cross: “International Humanitarian Law in Action” database (https://ihl-in-action.icrc.org/). Students elaborate reports aimed at identifying real case-studies on compliance with international by States and organized armed groups based on open-access information. The ICRC has received positive feed-backs on this new instrument, to be used in training and dissemination activities for armed forces/organized armed groups, students and civil society, and has made reference to it in the 2018 statement to the UN Security Council open debate on protection of civilians in armed conflict.

- Cooperation with the International Committee of the Red Cross on ‘Test and train a large-language model on international humanitarian law’. Artificial intelligence (AI) holds the potential to assist ICRC legal advisers in finding relevant information and providing summaries and initial analysis based on pre-defined sources (‘datasets’). Thus, the ICRC has started collaborating with the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) Essential Tech Centre to explore the development and assess the performance of an ICRC internal, non-public IHL-trained large-language model (LLM). As part of this process, the ICRC is seeking support from IHL students to test, evaluate, and train the LLM.

Relevant Dates and Application Process:
Students are invited to apply for the IHL Legal Clinic according to information provided below.
- A preliminary informal meeting to present the activities of the IHL Legal Clinic and provide relevant information will take place on Monday 23rd September 2024 at 12:00. The meeting will be held on-line through Teams. Please use this link to connect through Teams

- Students interested to take part in the IHL Legal Clinic are required to send an email to giulio.bartolini@uniroma3.it by Wednesday 25th September 2024 at 15:00 (earlier submissions are kindly encouraged). In this email students are kindly invited to provide: a) a letter of motivation for their interest to take part in the IHL legal clinic; b) as well as relevant information (e.g. through a CV) on: Their academic career (year of study, number of passed exams, average grade); Previous exams related to international law issues or legal clinics; Languages known.
- The selection process will imply an interview to be carried out in-presence (Room 1, Via Ostiense 161) or on-line on Thursday 26th September at 14.30. The interview will permit to assess the interest and capacity of candidates to take part in this innovative project also based on information provided above.
The selection will be held in-presence or on-line through Teams. Please use this LINK to connect through Teams.

The course aims to develop the skills of students in legal analysis and research aimed at the resolution of practical problems in international business disputes settled through arbitration.

The course is focused on the participation of the students to the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot (written memorials, oral hearings, pre-moots, finals in Vienna).

The course provides students with specialized skills to approach complex practical legal problems as counsel, develop advocacy and accomplish teamwork.

The course reflects on conflicts of religious and ethno-religious incidence in Europe, starting from the analysis of the normative sources of the European institutions (Council of Europe and European Union) and the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights and the European Court of Justice.
Specifically, the course will focus on conflicts concerning religious behaviour protected by European legal systems and the limitations that legal systems may place on religious freedom. In particular, it will reflect on the safeguarding of religious pluralism; on the relationship between secularism and religious symbolism; on conflicts related to freedom of expression and religious criticism; on the educational freedom of parents and students and on national systems of religious instruction; and on the articulation of religious freedom in family and work relations.

Participants will be provided with doctrinal texts, analyzed sentences and bibliographical insights, also through the E-learning portal.

The course will focus to the main institutes of contract law, concerning its general part as well as the analysis of the main types of contacts and the most common contract clauses in practice. The students will be asked to participate in class through specific exercises aimed at understanding how to translate the theoretical notions into practice.

TEXTS AND TOPICS OF FOCUS WILL BE GIVEN DIRECTLY FROM PROFESSOR DURING THE LESSONS.

The term intersectionality, coined by feminist jurist Kimberlé Crenshaw,
refers to the need to take into account the intertwining axes of subordination of gender, race and class that run through society.
The course, carried out according to the ‘learning by caring’ approach of the Legal Clinics, will address concrete cases of intersectional discrimination affecting individuals who are particularly vulnerable in the face of access to justice, such as migrant women and asylum seekers, lgbtq+ migrants, and workers exposed to conditions of violence and exploitation.
The course is based on the ‘learning by caring’ methodology, aimed at fostering a non-vertical relational approach, encouraging eco-solidarity practices and creating spaces that are ‘safe’ from sexism, racism, homolesbotransphobia and ableism.

The course is organised in three modules
1) Critical theoretical in-depth module on issues related to the intersectional approach to law, critical migration and border studies, asylum law from a gender perspective, queer and decolonial theory.
2) Practical-legal module during which through the clinical-legal method the students will deal with real cases under the guidance of and lawyers
3) Practical module during which the students will provide legal consultancy to migrants and asylum seekers in vulnerable circumstances

The legal clinic in question pursues the goal of offering legal protection to and for the residents of the
metropolitan area of Rome who see their right to the city compressed or threatened understood -
schematizing and without claiming to be exhaustive of the complex issues related to life in the
metropolis - as the right to inhabit (right to housing), the right to a healthy and equitable urban environment
(spatial justice) and the right to fair and efficient mobility (mobility rights), in this also encompassing
the accessibility of the urban area itself and its (infra)facilities (right to roam).
The operation of the clinic involves the involvement of a legal counsel and the advice of experts in
geography and urban sociology. To this end, a financial contribution in the amount determined by the
Department.

The course aims to offer an original perspective on the Roman law through the masterpieces of the great artists whose paintings represented the Roman past. Topics studied include the role of religion and myth in ancient Rome, politics and warfare, the status of women and other subjects pertaining to the Roman World. By the end of the module it is expected that students should have the knowledge and understanding to account how each artist has interpreted the ancient Roman world, and why does this world inspired painters.

All the English courses carry 4 ECTS for “Legal English/Lingua giuridica” which will be granted after passing the relevant exam. In order to follow the courses in English and to be able to obtain the 4 additional ECTS in Legal English (‘Attività – Lingua giuridica’) with the final examination, students must have a B1-level language certificate. The 4 additional ECTS in Legal English may only be awarded once, i.e. only for one course. The courses called ‘Lingua giuridica’ (‘Legal English’) cannot be selected as individual courses but only be added to the corresponding course with the same name.

Every thematic week will be associated to introductory papers which will be progressively uploaded on the ‘Roma Tre’ Moodle platform.

The purpose of the course is to provide an introduction to the principles and norms of international law applicable to the inter-governmental organisations (IGOs). It discusses the essential topics of the law of international organisations, including powers, privileges and immunities, as well as membership rules, institutional structures, and accountability. There is a focus on the United Nations system, as the paradigmatic IGO, including the activities of the specialised agencies based in Rome. Special emphasis is placed on the interaction between universalism and regionalism. IGOs have developed into a pervasive phenomenon: a fundamental objective of the course is to develop a critical understanding of their impact vis-à-vis the current global challenges (big data, economic and financial crises, migration, armed conflicts, natural disasters, epidemics).

This course offers students the opportunity to work on complex and cutting-edge questions of international law through preparation for, and participation in, a distinguished international law moot competition. In the process, students will develop and refine advanced legal research and advocacy skills. The moot competitions will usually include the Philip C Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition, the pre-eminent global mooting competition in international law. Students will be expected to attend sessions on research methodology, and then to undertake intensive research in international law, prepare written submissions and develop oral submissions which are then refined through mooting practice.
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
- undertake international legal research
- analyse and synthesise international legal information and materials
- apply international law to complex issues, and critique the law from a practical perspective, either individually or as part of a team
- prepare appropriate and practical written and oral arguments for a specialist legal audience
- reflect on their abilities to effectively undertake legal work as a member of a team.

Students will receive a reader which will include selected articles and excerpts from relevant literature on methodology in legal research

TThe IHL Legal Clinic permits selected students involved in the International Humanitarian Law course at the Roma Tre Law Department both to cooperate on pro bono projects with leading international and national institutions operating in the area of international humanitarian law and acquire significant skills and a humanitarian-oriented approach beneficial for their competences, future activities and civil awareness.
The IHL Legal Clinic aims to put students to the test of humanitarian and legal challenges raised by contemporary armed conflicts and other crisis through cooperative projects with relevant stakeholders.


As for the 2018-2019 academic year planned projects will involve, for instance, cooperation with the International Committee of the Red Cross and the NATO SHAPE Legal Office and Amnesty International.

Students will receive the relevant materials during class.

This activity is connected to the course Comparative Competition Law, taught in English, which focuses on competition law from a comparative perspective (with particular reference to the European Union and the United States). It aims to provide students with the tools for understanding antitrust policies and their concrete implementation through the study of EU and U.S. legislation, case law and enforcement practice. In addition to dealing with individual cases, the course includes in-depth study of specific topics related to sectors of interest (including digital markets) and the intersections between competition law and other areas of law, such as intellectual property law. In addition, the course provides for the active participation of students in the analysis and discussion of relevant case law and in the simulation of trials.

In addition to cases examined during lessons, a selection of readings will be recommended, mainly from the following textbook:

R. Whish – D. Bailey, Competition Law, Oxford University Press 2021- selected chapters

The course includes a general part where the fundamental concepts and areas of Comparative Constitutional Law are introduced (constitution, constitutionalism, State and democracy, government vs. governance, separation of powers, systems of government, federalism and other types of State organization). It then focuses on selected topics of digital democracy: such as the rise of private (vs State) powers and digital constitutionalism, issues of digital surveillance, regulation of Artificial intelligence and the use of technology in relation to state structures (Judiciaries, Parliaments, Governments).

Readings will be provided on the e-learning platform.

Assessment during the semester

The course aims to offer a broad, multi-disciplinary view of law. Law cannot be analysed, studied, understood using only the categories of positive law itself. Law is in itself a social phenomenon. In addition to a normative reading of the content of law, historical, social, political, economic and cultural observation is always desirable. During the course, an in-depth look at the semantic fields of peace and war, human rights, state sovereignty, criminal justice and imprisonment will be taken.

The course will focus on the detailed and "monographic" analysis of individual institutions and topics already addressed during the course of labor law.
In particular, it will cover some issues that concern, on the one hand, the major themes of labor law, such as, for example, the issue of collective bargaining between freedom of choice of applicable law and minimum standards of treatment to be provided to the employees, or even the topic of the protection provided under labor law in response to the changes in the organization of business produced by new technologies and the global market, and the issue of waivers and transactions entered into by the workers and, on the other hand, the in-depth examination of individual controversial aspects of employment law such as fixed-term employment, procurement and secondment, collective dismissals or the possible devolution of employment disputes to arbitrators, and, furthermore, the most recent debate on citizenship income, minimum wage and work-life balance.

The course’s analitic lineaments will pursue a diachronic recognition of the justice’s evolution during various centuries, according to a non linear ermeneutic path and its whole empirical-practical experiences.
In particular, the examination of the juridical system and the rituals that abide to the trial will take place in a non uniformal historical – juridical standard, which contemplate a compositive and extrajuridical resolution of conflicts, with afflictive penalties, and that will coexist until the beginning of the XIII century, with the birth of ordines iudiciarii and the strict formalization of the usual phases of the roman – canonical’s procedures.
It will be transformed in details by local laws, even though the trial’s general process will remain the same through centuries.
Next we will consider the newest changes and the firsts criminalistic science’s speculations which the Ancien Regime’s legal practice will refer to.
The course will also analize the new juridical system’s profiles, the usual normatives and the main istitutes that mark, in their gradual and progressive being, the second Modern Age until the last outcome deriving from the juridical enlightment, following an european path.

PROGRAM
The Course aims at conducting a comparative analysis of some of the key institutions of private law, including contract and tort, and their role in digital markets. By introducing students to the comparative methodology in the study of law, it furthers a better understanding of national law and it aims at developing critical and analytical tools through which students will be able to identify and research relevant issues in the private law of digital markets, through a direct approach to normative, jurisprudential and doctrinal sources of foreign and supranational law.
The following topics will be covered in the course:
-A framework of digital markets and their regulation, beginning with a reconstruction the different phases of the so-called digital revolution (including algorithms, coding, AI, big data, IoT and the blockchain technology);
-An analysis, from a private law perspective, of some of the main business models that have developed in the digital economy (such as digital platforms, smart contracts, digital labor);
-An analysis of selected profiles of contract, property and tort in digital markets, with a special focus on EU and US law.

Details and Syllabus can be found on the E-learning (Moodle Platform) page of the course (https://giurisprudenza.el.uniroma3.it/).


COURSE LEARNING ACTIVITIES
During the course the activities will be divided as follows:
-frontal lectures;
-presentations assigned to students with the scope of supporting the lectures and encouraging interactive student participation;
-case simulations.


ASSESSMENT TOOLS

The course aims to get students concretely involved in the protection of the rights of prison inmates by directly confronting their legal cases. The learner will travel to penal institutions and, with the support of the lecturer and other experts in the field, will confront the issues raised by the users and engage in their resolution.
The course is therefore characterised by the 'clinical method' being: practice-oriented, based on the resolution of concrete problems and the management of the relationship with the client and the other parties involved in the legal case (administration, magistrates, guarantors, etc.),
In this way, the course is an advantage not only for the student, who acquires skills and abilities of a practical nature (learning by doing), but also for the detained persons.

Since this is a practical course, there are no theoretical texts, the material regarding solving concrete cases to be addressed will be provided by the lecturer directly during the course.

The course intends to analyze the problem of the legal basis of persecutions against the Christians. It is divided into two parts, dedicated respectively to the examination of the sources, where the ‘persecutiones’ fron the 1st to the 4th century A.D. appear to be founded on simple belonging to the ‘nomen Christianum’; the second, aimed at reconstructing in detail the text of the four edicts – or, more probably, of the single ‘edictum’ – with which Diocletian unleashed the last persecution in 303 A.D.

This course offers students the opportunity to work on complex and cutting-edge questions of international law through preparation for, and participation in, a distinguished international law moot competition. In the process, students will develop and refine advanced legal research and advocacy skills. The moot competitions will usually include the Philip C Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition, the pre-eminent global mooting competition in international law. Students will be expected to attend sessions on research methodology, and then to undertake intensive research in international law, prepare written submissions and develop oral submissions which are then refined through mooting practice.
At the end of this course, students will be able to:

Course textbook:

In addition to cases examined during lessons, a selection of readings will be recommended, mainly from the following textbook:

R. Whish – D. Bailey, Competition Law, Oxford University Press 2024- selected chapters (see moodle)

Course description:
The “International Humanitarian Law Legal Clinic” (IHL Legal Clinic) has been established in 2016 to permit students to acquire a sound knowledge on international humanitarian law, cooperate on a pro bono basis on projects with leading international and national institutions operating in this area and develop significant skills and a humanitarian-oriented approach beneficial for their competences, future professional activities and civil awareness. The IHL Legal Clinic is an optional course (7 CFU) opens to students from Roma Tre and those involved in exchange programmes (eg. Erasmus) qualifying for a final mark. The working language is English (students can also qualify for ‘Lingua giuridica’).

So far students involved in the Roma Tre IHL Legal Clinic have provided support to some of the most relevant international and domestic stakeholders as: The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC); Amnesty International; NATO (Allied Command Operations Legal Office at SHAPE); Geneva Call; the Italian Red Cross, IHL Commission; the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (see below ‘Past Projects’).

In 2024/2025 students of the IHL Legal Clinic will:
A) Acquire a sound knowledge of international humanitarian law through introductory lectures.
B) Be involved in research and practice-oriented projects commissioned by relevant stakeholders as International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and Geneva Call (TBC). See below for further details: ‘2024-2025 Projects’;
C) Be involved in dissemination activities after the completion of the clinical project with relevant stakeholders and partner institutions.

A selection process will permit to identify interested students due to some limits related to the management of the IHL Legal Clinic – eg. max. around 10/12 students (see below ‘relevant dates and application process’). Any student enrolled at the Department of Law (including Erasmus students or other foreign students involved in exchange projects) are invited to join the selection process.

Course Learning Objectives
• To provide students with a proper understanding of international humanitarian law and its relevance in the regulation of armed conflicts. A preliminary set of lectures managed by Prof. Bartolini will permit students to get familiar with international humanitarian law and issues of public international law relevant for this course. It is not required for students to have previously attended courses on public international law or international humanitarian law.
• To permit students to professionally interact with international institutions acting in the area of international humanitarian law through the participation in research projects and clinical activities commissioned by organizations partners to the Roma Tre IHL Legal Clinic
• The IHL Legal Clinic is inspired by a ‘learning by doing’ approach permitting students to develop their competences in legal research, drafting, writing and organization of activities, to facilitate the transfer of theoretical analysis into a practical and humanitarian-oriented perspective.

Course Learning Activities:
To achieve the above objectives, students will have to:
• Actively participate in the projects of the IHL Legal Clinic;
• Acquire a sound knowledge of international humanitarian law also through the textbook.
• Engage in class discussions/debates.

Assessment tools and attendance policy:
Students will be assessed on the basis of their contribution to the projects carried out the IHL Legal Clinic. Projects developed by the IHL Legal Clinic also require students to prepare draft reports and other preliminary material to be presented in class. Students are expected to participate in all classes as attendance is mandatory.

2024/2025 Projects and activities of the IHL Legal Clinic:
The IHL Legal Clinic will be managed in two phases:
A) Students will get familiar with international humanitarian law: Prof. Bartolini will manage
a series of lectures aimed to make students familiar with international humanitarian law (October-mid November 2024 see calendar below). Presentations by external speakers as officers of the Armed Forces will also be arranged. Students will be required to get familiar with the textbook: Nils Melzer, International Humanitarian Law. A Comprehensive Introduction (downloadable for free here). Relevant sections of the textbook will be discussed in class.

B) Clinical activities: From mid-November onwards, students will start to manage research projects involving relevant stakeholders.
In particular students will work on:
- Partnership with the International Committee of the Red Cross: “International Humanitarian Law in Action” database (https://ihl-in-action.icrc.org/). Students elaborate reports aimed at identifying real case-studies on compliance with international by States and organized armed groups based on open-access information. The ICRC has received positive feed-backs on this new instrument, to be used in training and dissemination activities for armed forces/organized armed groups, students and civil society, and has made reference to it in the 2018 statement to the UN Security Council open debate on protection of civilians in armed conflict.

- Cooperation with the International Committee of the Red Cross on ‘Test and train a large-language model on international humanitarian law’. Artificial intelligence (AI) holds the potential to assist ICRC legal advisers in finding relevant information and providing summaries and initial analysis based on pre-defined sources (‘datasets’). Thus, the ICRC has started collaborating with the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) Essential Tech Centre to explore the development and assess the performance of an ICRC internal, non-public IHL-trained large-language model (LLM). As part of this process, the ICRC is seeking support from IHL students to test, evaluate, and train the LLM.
