2nd Cycle Degree Course: Law

The academic program is aimed at preparing for the legal professions, judiciary and high-level positions in the public administration and/or public bodies, private sector and/or international and European organizations.

Resources reserved for the administrative autonomy will be used to arrange programs coherent with the educational needs of the different accessible professional fields, providing the development and the deepening of technical and methodological aspects, including both the basic and the specializing activities, in order to ensure consistent knowledge and skills and the capacity of updating and elaborating the established ones. This will be realized though the provision of a bunch of credits freely manageable by the student, along a personalized and individual educational program.
To this end, the following achievements will be requested:

• appropriate historical knowledge for the full comprehension of the positive law institutions;
• ability to elaborate legal texts (legislative, negotiating and procedural) also by computer facilities;
• full command of the interpretation, qualification and case study methods.

Through specific courses, both basic and specializing, the knowledge of the following field will be assured:
institutional and organisational aspects of the judicial systems, professional ethics, legal and forensic logic and reasoning, legal Informatics, computer law and the juridical vocabulary of at least one foreign European language.

The indication of the scientific disciplinary sector IUS 01 under the “additional or related activities” entails the insertion in the study plan of the computer law course. In that respect, it must be stressed that, in the area of the educational or additional activities, the focus on the foundations of informatics has characterized the academic program since its establishment; though, the previous structure of the course, purely technical and scientific in nature (“Informatics”, SSD INF 01), has registered no positive feedback from students and has underlined the shortfalls of its insertion within a study plan in Law. The new structure, without neglecting the basic technical aspects which serve as preliminary knowledge, enhances the juridical consequences and the different uses of Informatics in the legal-technical field within the study program, offering a wide outline of the main aspects of juridical significance of on-line communications and of the several uses of Internet.
