Programme

The teaching programme is structured in terms of content in order to deepen, according to an investigation perspective that privileges the analysis of the construction and evolution of legal concepts, the relevance assumed by scientia iuris, and therefore by the Romanesque model, in the current process of construction and harmonisation of European law, understood as a priority in its scientific dimension. Within this framework, the casuistic-prudential structure of Roman law will be the subject of a preliminary in-depth study, with particular regard to the technical characteristics of the method of classical jurisprudence; then the monographic subject of the course will be tackled, represented by non-contractual liability, considering the central importance that this institution has in the historical tradition and in the normative discipline of the legal systems of continental Europe. The diachronic evolution of the institution will be retraced in a historical-comparative perspective, highlighting the contribution offered by Roman jurisprudential law in the elaboration of ‘transnational’ legal concepts, as well as pointing out profiles of continuity and discontinuity between Roman conceptions and current reconstructions and problems.
