The main objective of the course is to provide the student with a critical knowledge of the main institutes of agricultural law understood as the right of the agricultural enterprise exercised within a market whose main actors are producers and consumers of agricultural products, while ensuring a vision system in the light of domestic law, international treaties and European law.
In this path, the course aims to provide 1) a thorough knowledge of the fundamental notions of agricultural law in the Italian and European legislative framework; 2) the ability to contextualise, analyze and critically interpret sources of a different nature (European directives and regulations, international treaties, our Constitutional Charter, the civil code, the principles of law enunciated by the jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice and by the national one ); 3) the lexical and conceptual tools necessary for the study of agricultural law and useful for acquiring good exhibition skills in written and oral form.
Expected learning outcomes:
- Analysis and in-depth study of the fundamental institutions and principles of agricultural law with particular reference to the system of sources, to the difference between agricultural enterprise and trade in the broad sense, to the main agricultural activities and related, to the farm, to its goods and its circulation, to the agri-food law.
- Acquisition of technical language and a theoretical framework suitable for depicting and ordering the subject matter.
- Abandonment of a purely notional study and ability to reflect on other dimensions through an approach that takes into account the global context in which we live.
- Ability to understand the constant interconnections that exist between agricultural law and other apparently distant subjects.
- Ability to interpret the regulatory provisions in full autonomy and to frame the specific cases, paying particular attention to the main doctrinal and jurisprudential guidelines and to the broader European context.
- Ability to orientate in the system and master the interpretative tools through which to reconnect more institutions to the same case.
- Ability to apply and exploit the knowledge acquired during the course in the context of insolvency procedures, conference reports, professional interviews, masters, internships in judicial offices.
