Learning Objectives
The aim of the course is to identify the main features of European legal culture deriving from historical experience, in particular from ancient Rome.

The first part of the programme aims to clarify the role and importance of Roman law in the formation of the European legal systems: from Justinian to current legislation.
In the second part the following topics will be explored: law and religion (the origins, civil law as the law of the cives, the law of the people, natural law); the relationship between the individual and the state (problems of citizenship and immigration); the historicity of the sources of law; human rights; analysis of some institutions and figures of European law (the foundations of Roman law).
Bridging Courses

Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
Knowledge and understanding. At the end of the course the student is expected to know and remember the evolutionary stages of the European legal experience, along with its most important institutes; to consider the interaction of the legal phenomenon with politics, society and culture.
Applying knowledge and understanding. Students will develop the ability to offer an interpretation of the rules, with a proper understanding of the legal and socio-political content, related to ideals and values. Moreover, attending students are expected to be able to independently analyse documents selected by the professor and to communicate effectively using an appropriate legal lexicon.
Making judgmentents. Students will develop interpretative skills and the ability to give personal evaluations on the profiles considered during the course.
Communication skills. Students will develop the ability to express the knowledge acquired with a proper legal language, following argumentative paths typical of legal logic.
Learning skills. Students must have developed good learning skills, which allow them to extend and deepen the knowledge acquired during the course independently.
