General Part

The course is aimed at providing students with knowledge of the evolution of ordinances, procedures and legal doctrine in the West from the classical centuries of common law (12th-16th century) to the European coding experiences of the late nineteenth century. Other objectives, no less important, are:

1) to illustrate the sources of Italian law from the end of the political and legal unit of Italy due to the Lombard invasion, to the modern age; 2) to study the history of the legal systems that characterized the legal pluralism in Europe and Italy, especially with regard to the history of the exercise of the legislative power;.

Special Part

The second part of the course will focus on the following topics:

1) the relationship between the history of law and the forms of production, with particular reference to the work organization in artisan workshops between the 13th and 15th centuries;

2) the history of commercial capitalism;

2) direct interventions by absolute power, consisting of authoritarian measures aimed at limiting adjudications and citations in judgments, the opiniones of lawyers;

4) the right contribution and the principle of contribution capacity in its graft in the constitutional texts.

The programme consists of a general first part (30 hours) which aims to introduce the student to a critical study of the history of law and a more specific (30 hours) study, aimed at the development of issues that lead to a better understanding of existing law.

Knowledge and understanding

The student acquires the fundamental legal skills and knowledge of the historical dimension of the law, as a social and economic experience, and the function of the legal historiography, as an instrument to criticize the actual legislation.

Applying Knowledge and understanding

The student is able to contextualize and understand the main legal institutions; and to show a detailed knowledge of the history of law, and the ability to use the Sources of law and jurisprudence.

Making Judgements

The student will have to demonstrate the ability to possess sufficient cultural tools to identify the internal problems of the Italian and European historical-legal evolution, which will allow him to reflect and make judgments, on the social and ethical responsibilities that this evolution entails.

Communication skills

The student will have to demonstrate the possession of adequate basic terminology skills necessary for the continuation of the study in increasingly articulated forms, communicating the acquired knowledge in a clear and scientifically correct manner.

Learning Skills

The student will have to rationally and fully organize the legal notions in a cultural framework composed of numerous variables not only cultural, but also socio-economic, proceeding with autonomy of judgment and integrating the preparation with personal and critical inputs and proving to be able to proceed in the study with a high degree of autonomy.
