Private International Law
A.Y. 2024/2025
Learning objectives
Starting from the legal skills already acquired, the course introduces the study of the legal framework that provides solutions to conflicts of law and jurisdiction that originate from international contracts and, more generally, from cross-border economic activities, as well as from family relationships that have an international element. The natural mobility of human relationships gives rise to multiple situations that do not fall under a single legal system and whose regulation is entrusted to private international law.
Expected learning outcomes
The course aims to provide students with the ability to understand and analyse the most crucial and complex current legal issues concerning transnational relations, through basic knowledge of the principles and rules that constitute this framework and that today constitute the necessary tool for any professional or commercial activity projected towards foreign markets. Participation in the presentation activities is voluntary and aims to help course participants acquire teamwork and public speaking skills.
