Complementary Course: Criminal Law: Cases and Solutions

Studying criminal law through cases - already decided (and therefore real) or fictitious - allows the student to learn to apply the rules in practice, becoming familiar with the code, and to set up the solution of problems, easy or difficult, that arise in reality and represent the everyday business of judges, prosecutors, and lawyers. Working with and on cases allows you to put into practice the theoretical notions learned during the criminal law course and to use them to solve problems. Studying on cases means learning to grasp, from the narration of the fact, the profiles relevant to the law; it means then learning to qualify the facts in the light of the rules, and to apply the rules themselves. These are fundamental skills that the student will be able to put to use in view of the start to the legal profession, and the related internship.
The initial part of the module will be devoted to illustrating the technique of case analysis, providing the student with the necessary guidelines to engage in individual and group practice. Will be briefly recalled the basics learned during the course of criminal law (I semester) and additional concepts, which are essential for the solution of cases. The second part of the module will then be devoted to solving the traces and class discussion of the cases examined and solved by the students.
