None.
The Laboratory aims to provide students with the ability to recognise the different types of legal texts in the field of public law; to orient themselves in the different types of legal texts, quickly identifying the information that is important for understanding the text; to understand the meaning of the main juridical terms and to form a basic vocabulary; to understand the meaning of the text and to apply the knowledge when reading legal texts.
The activity is designed exclusively for legal degree programs since it focuses on notions and skills strictly related to legal studies.
