The Roman Law course will be carried out through the analysis and discussion of specific cases. In particular, problems arising from each case will be treated in a diachronic comparative perspective, making comparisons between the approach adopted by Roman jurists and the contemporary legal regime, with specific regard to the Italian and other European legal systems.
The first part of the course will be focused to an in-depth study of the casuistic method, in relation with the analysis of the role of the “regula iuris” held in the Roman jurisprudence, which followed the development of the Roman legal system up to the post-classical period. With specific regard to the evolution of the sources of Roman law, the study will take a close look at the main stages of history of jurisprudence.
The second part will be focused to the study of specific problems of the contractual area: specially well be treated the creation of legal protection of the buyer and the leaser for the defects f the thing, through the analysis of jurisprudential solutions about concret casuistic.
