Learning outcomes

Administrative law is the body of law that deals with the activities of State and local governments and it mainly focuses on: organisational and operational issues; the relationship between public administration and citizens; public services delivered by private entities.
Traditionally administrative law used to belong to the branch of public law but now it is increasingly influenced by EU law. This teaching module involves: administrative law 1; administrative law 2; administrative justice.
The course of Administrative law 1 deals with the basics of the discipline and focuses on changes taking place in the organization of Italian public administration and its relationships with citizens according to the principle of subsidiarity and the impact of European Union. It is aimed at offering the instruments to tackle and master the basics of the discipline in future undergraduate and postgraduate studies, as well as professional activity, with a problem solving approach.

The written paper will be comprised of four open questions, three of which are intended to verify knowledge of fundamental categories of administrative law and one the ability to contextualise the knowledge acquired within a systematic framework. The oral discussion, which will discuss the written paper, is intended to test the ability to reason in relation to legal questions arising within administrative law.
