Programma

The course of Roman law has monographic approaches and it is directed to explore the techniques of legal reasoning developed by Roman jurisprudence and their contribution in the construction of modern legal science.
To this end, the course is divided into two modules, one general and one monographic.


The general module focuses on the study of the sources of Roman law, from the ancient period to the compilation of Justinian, in their dual role as sources of knowledge and sources of law.

The attention will be particularly focused on the role of Roman jurisprudence, as a driver of productive law and a filter between the sources of law and practice. Specific insights you have on the methodology of interpretation of ‘creative jurisprudence’ with the analysis of the method by studying the texts of the Roman literature .
The special module, focusing on the analysis of one or more ' institutions ' or ' problem areas ', will focus on the analysis of the solutions, as a kind of case law, on law of obligations.
