Learning outcomes
L´obiettivo principale di questo corso è fare acquisire agli studenti una conoscenza basica dell´Inglese giuridico ed anche fornire la capacità di utilizzo di tale linguaggio. Questo si farà con lo studio della storia della Common Law ed attraverso la comprensione delle origine del linguaggio giuridico con le influenze latine, normanne e teutoniche. Gli studenti inoltre, leggeranno leggi, statuti e casi per familiarizzare con l´inglese giuridico, anche con lo studio della legislazione Europea in inglese per capire meglio il linguaggio usato ad oggi a livello europeo.
Si studierà diverse discipline del diritto per capire la particolarità del linguaggio di detta disciplina. Esempi pratici e la lettura di testi legali e contratti saranno utilizzati per dare agli studenti modelli di uso del linguaggio.
