2) in materials available via e-mail upon (see modules IV - V - VI - VII)
3.1) in the textbook by V. Cerulli Irelli, Lineamenti del diritto amministrativo, casa editrice Giappichelli limited to paragraphs 4.6, 4.7, 5.1.4, 5.1.5

Non-attending students
The exam consists of a written test (lasting one hour and divided into four open questions with a fixed space) and an oral interview concerning the notions, issues, problems developed in chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 of the manual by V. Cerulli Irelli, Lineamenti del diritto amministrativo, G. Giappichelli editore.
Incoming ERASMUS students (i.e. students registered on study programmes at European Union universities not based in Italy) are invited to contact the teacher responsible at the start of the course in order to be set a specific topic to be analysed in greater depth in a course essay. That essay will be discussed orally during the examination diets scheduled according to the academic calendar.
The teaching method is consistent with the learning objectives of the teaching of Administrative Law 1 and, more generally, with the educational objectives of the single-cycle master's degree course in Law.
It follows that, on the one hand, it outlines, in a problematic and critical way, the fundamental legal categories and institutions conventionally linked to the disciplinary field called administrative law, highlighting the impact of jurisprudence and doctrine regarding their origin and evolution. as well as explaining the systematic connections between them; on the other hand, it provides the essential (first) logical and (then) legal tools for the solution of concrete cases and, through frequent examples, demonstrates their suitability for the purpose.

Evaluation criteria

Knowledge and understanding of the subject being examined and of the relative formant - in a synchronic and diachronic perspective - normative, jurisprudential and doctrinal.
Ability to analyze and argue in relation to issues and problems inherent in the subject matter being examined. Ability to present (both in written and oral form) the acquired knowledge as well as the analyzes and arguments in a clear and orderly manner as well as with a correct technical vocabulary.
Ability to solve concrete cases by (first) identifying the essential elements, (then) identifying - on the basis of reliable argumentative paths - the rules to be applied and (lastly) applying - by virtue of reasoning immune from logical flaws - the aforementioned rules to the specific cases.
