Elements of Procedural Law

The course aims to make students acquire the basic notions that help to understand the essential and common concepts of civil and criminal justice, which also find a parallel in international justice, through the exam of the conditions, methods and limits in which judicial protection is exercised. The course also aims to provide the student with the knowledge of the judicial procedures through which justice is administered and of the general principles - national and supranational - to which every process expects to be informed.

The expected learning outcomes are the following: i) understanding and knowledge and of the main topics of the subject and of the specific methodology of procedural law as pertaining to general principles potentially applicable to all types of proceedings, national and international; ii) acquisition of an appropriate legal language and a good understanding of the legal lexicon; iii) understanding the differences between procedural law and substantive law and their mutual interference; iv) ability to interpret the provisions of substantive law in a procedural key, identifying the most appropriate form of protection that oversees the violation; v) knowledge of the basic notion useful for the access to the professional figures in the justice system open also to graduated in SIE (i.e. clerk of the court) or potentially connected to it (i.e. employee in small or middle-size enterprises).
