Learning objectives
The course aims at providing students with the basic tools that are necessary to draft some of the recurring briefs and lawsuits found in the professional life of a lawyer, who intends to engage in the commercial law and corporate law practice.
During the course, students will be supervised while drafting briefs dealing with certain selected practical cases: for this reason, attendance is required and the number of admitted students will be limited.
It is also necessary to register in advance attendance to the class.
The course is structured in three sessions granting 2 formative credits (and 15 hours ) each, given in the first semester of the 4th year.
The first part of the course will address the drafting of one or more briefs or lawsuit that may be brought before a court in a commercial or company litigation; the second part of the course will regard the development of the main brief resulting from the introductory lawsuit on the same case; the third session will be about the drafting of by-laws clauses, shareholders' agreements, other contracts and/or an opinion on legal issues relating to commercial or corporate law.
