Obiettivi formativi
The European history of Law course is designed to align with the overarching goal of Global Law and Transnational Legal Studies. It aims to center on the discipline of legal comparison, providing students with the opportunity to delve into the exploration of diverse legal models, practices, and cultures that delineate the scope of global and transnational law.
Specifically, the course seeks to furnish students with a profound understanding, viewed through a historical-juridical lens, of the institutional and intellectual elements that European legal systems commonly share. By scrutinizing the historical transformations undergone by law, the course endeavors to cultivate in students an awareness of the development, relativity, and evolution of the legal phenomenon

The course will involve a combination of lectures and assignments. The required textbook, "European History of Law: Evolution and Fundamental Features," encompasses all essential course materials necessary for exam preparation. Supplementary materials will be accessible through the teaching platform (Moodle). Therefore, it is imperative and mandatory for all students to enroll in the teaching platform to gain complete access to materials, participate in discussions, and receive communications.

Modalità di verifica dell'apprendimento
Students will take two midterm exams, each consisting of a written section with three questions (1-hour time limit).
The final written exam varies based on performance in the midterms. Students who have completed and passed both mid-term exams will engage in a discussion of 2 questions. Those who have completed and passed only one mid-term exam will discuss 4 questions, and students who have not completed or passed any mid-term exam will address 6 questions. Limits on the length of the answers will be enforced. The allocated time for the final exam questions will range from 40 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the questions.
The final evaluation will consider the following criteria:
Formal accuracy, including grammar
Completeness of the answers
Adequate selection of relevant arguments
Proper presentation of arguments, including the use of appropriate legal terminology
Autonomous organization and elaboration of the answer
It's noteworthy that "incorrect" solutions to the cases will not necessarily result in a negative evaluation. As long as the answer demonstrates coherent reasoning, consistency with the underlying theoretical background, and adequate motivation, it may be considered positively.
The evaluation for both the midterm and final exams will be expressed in grades ranging from 1 to 30.
