The educational objectives are twofold: to lead students towards reflective learning, based on the identification, study and concrete resolution of legal problems raised by clients; encourage students to understand and manage issues related to their field of interest (Economics and Business Area).

General knowledge of law, both substantive and procedural, with a particular focus on commercial law.

The course adopts an experiential learning methodology based on the guided analysis and handling of practical cases selected for their educational value and consistency with the objectives of the programme. Students will be required to engage with concrete legal issues, reconstruct the relevant facts, identify the applicable legal problems, assess possible courses of action and prepare, in a simulated setting, activities related to client counselling, legal assistance and defence. Cases will be selected primarily on the basis of their teaching value, their ability to strengthen students’ basic legal skills and their suitability for developing legal reasoning, argumentation, problem-solving and professional communication skills. The course is not based on traditional lectures, but on practical activities mainly carried out in class. Students will work individually on the assigned cases under the supervision of the course instructor and with the support of tutors, lawyers and teaching collaborators. The role of instructors and tutors will be to guide, monitor and support students’ work, without replacing their independent legal analysis and reasoning. The practical activities may be supplemented by common seminars, methodological sessions and short lectures aimed at clarifying the most complex legal issues arising from the cases. These sessions will support the practical work and will be designed to strengthen the connection between theoretical knowledge, professional skills and practical application. No structured extracurricular workload is required, unless otherwise specified during the course. Students are, however, expected to participate actively in class, complete the individual practical assignments carried out during the lessons and comply with the methodological guidance provided by instructors and tutors. The course is designed to promote progressive, participatory and inclusive learning, also serving an anti-dropout function by providing continuous guidance in the development of the required skills. At the beginning of the semester, students will receive a detailed syllabus indicating the lectures, seminars and main activities planned. In light of the case-based and practical nature of the course, the syllabus may be subject to adjustments if specific teaching, methodological or organisational needs arise following the assignment and development of the cases.

For the purpose of proper attendance and proactive participation in the course, we recommend the purchase and use of the following volumes: "Commentary on the Consolidated Law on Finance", Pacini Giuridica, 2021, edited by G. Cavallaro “Diritto del mercato mobiliare”, Pacini Giuridica, 2020, edited by G. Cavallaro “Il diritto del mercato finanziario”, Giuffrè, 2023, by M. Foschini

The course is based on an interactive teaching approach, based on the assignment of different practical case studies to students. The practical activity will be held during class hours and will see students working individually on assigned cases.

The exam consists of an oral test. The student, in order to pass the course, must demonstrate both the active attendance of the course during the semester, and to have well understood the activity carried out in the case studies addressed. The student is required to correctly use the technical-legal lexicon of the subject, thus demonstrating that he has achieved the necessary study method and learning ability.
