Modalità di insegnamento
Class will be held in person, and the schedule will be shared via Moodle. Students are kindly asked to register themselves on Moodle.
The teaching method aims to foster active student involvement. Specifically, students will be prompted to partake in presenting key cases, analyzing and solving practical cases, and delivering presentations on significant legal cases. Through this approach, students will go through crucial stages in managing cross-border disputes, stepping into the role of legal counsel for one of the parties in a transnational litigation.
Students unable to attend in-person classes ("students not attending classes") can prepare for the exam using a forthcoming Handbook authored by the course instructors. The Handbook features self-assessment tests and case studies designed for independent study. Reference can be made to D'Alessandro, Castagno, Handbook on Cross-Border Litigation, Wolters Kluwer, 2024.
