The course aims at offering an interpretation of the penitentiary law according to the terms of the Constitution, with a both theoretical and practical approach, particularly focused on the application of rules in the practice and in the jurisprudence, at national level and beyond. Based on this point of view, in which the “constitutionalistic” shade prevails, the course means to enlarge the cultural baggage of our students, combining the knowledge they already got in different fields (constitutional law, philosophy of law, criminal law, rules of criminal procedure, international law, ecc.) with the basic teaching of our degree course.
