IUS/18 - ROMAN AND ANCIENT LAW
Period
2nd lecture period (2B) dal Apr 3, 2023 al May 23, 2023.
Learning objectives
The main purpose of the course is to develop the student’s ability of reasoning on significant topics in the frame of European Private Law. In order to properly deal with these issues, an analysis of continuities and discontinuities in the historical progression of these matters will be necessary. This analysis shall move backwards from the last significant developments of European Private Law to the roots of the ideas stemming from Roman legal system.
Moreover, the student is expected to: understand and reconstruct the basic outlines of several figures emerging from Rome’s historical experience; recognise the Roman principles still existing in current legal experiences, both in Civil and Common Law; develop analysis and connection skills, also from an historical-comparative perspective; expound the results of his/her critical evaluation in a coherent manner and with appropriate language proficiency; deal with concrete cases and propose legally correct solutions.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Roman Law Institution is the preparatory exam for this course.
Program
Roman law is a fundamental historical phenomenon also for the understanding of current legal experiences. As such, the teaching of Foundations of European Private Law aims to deepen the characteristics of some Roman Law institutions, belonging to different areas of private law, which constitute the roots of as many figures of current law, both in Civil and Common Law systems.
The lectures will focus on the exposition of some fundamental principles of European Private Law, with particular regard to the formation of the European Legal Tradition in contractual matters. The course will be characterized also of intensive lectures and seminars organised into thematic modules in the field of obligations, rights in rem, and succession.
The didactic material uploaded on the e-learning platform will be available to students.
ERASMUS students are kindly requested to contact the Professor at the beginning of the course, in order to agree the exam’s program.
