The knowledge of the ordinary notions of elemental logic (deductive and inductive method) is the unique prerequisite. No specific prerequisites are required.
The exam is oral and consists of an interview with the teacher during which the student will be asked to demonstrate the learning of the basic skills and the ability to navigate in the legal field regarding the relevant topics. Some questions will be asked to the student, one of which is of a notionistic nature and two other will be most practical.
The oral test lasts about 30 minutes.
The aim of the exam is to evaluate first and foremost analytical capacity and rigor on the topics covered, as well as language and communicative skills. As the attendees are students of the first year, some of whom face for the first time in the study of law, whose knowledge will still remain institutional, the capacity to express autonomy of judgment will not be one of the evaluation criteria needed to pass the examination. This last criterion can best be used to reward the most deserving students.
The course aims to provide the basic knowledge of private law with particular regard to the subjects of law and how they act in a commercial context. After a theoretical and systematic introduction, the students will become confident with the most important legal sources in relation to the aspects of their future professional field. In particular, the course intends to provide, in addition to some basic concepts, the ability to frame in the legal terms the cases and problems that operators may face and possible solutions or, at the very least, the legal rules of reference.
The expected learning outcomes are as follows:
- acquisition and ability to appropriately use basic concepts and terminology of private law;
- ability to interpret the facts, by framing them in legal terms, and find the tools to make the solution.
