Type of delivery of the course

Attending the course, students take part in a specific learning path that aims at developing the ability to analyse the acts adopted by the institutions of the European Union and the case-law of the Court of Justice. The first part of the course is held with traditional frontal teaching with the aid of power point presentations to allow students to focus on the fundamental aspects concerning the structure and functioning of the legal system of the European Union. The second part of the course engages in an active participation of the students through seminars that will involve them in the study and presentation of the most significant judgments concerning recent developments in the area of freedom, security and justice of the European Union. Particular attention will be paid to enhancing teamwork in the simulation of judicial proceedings before the Court of Justice.

Type of evaluation

The exam will take place in oral form according to a subdivision of students enrolled in the exam by time slots that will take into account the extracted letter. Each session will start on the days indicated in the exam calendar and may continue on the following days based on the number of students enrolled. In order to ensure the orderly and regular performance of the work, students who decide not to attend the exam, for which they have registered, are invited to cancel their registration no later than the deadline for the reservation in the Gomp system. We trust in the effective collaboration of the students in order to be able to organize each session based on the actual number of those present.
