The course aims to equip students with the fundamental tools needed to read and understand legal texts. It focuses specifically on legal reading skills, using legal theory as a case study. In particular, the course will explore the vocabulary used by the main schools of thought regarding the nature of law and its distinction from other normative domains, such as morality.

EXPECTED RESULTS: 1) Knowledge and understanding: acquisition of a fundamental legal vocabulary. 2) Applying knowledge and comprehension: use of the acquired knowledge in textual analysis. 3-4) Making judgements / Communication skills: correct use of the acquired vocabulary for an effective communication both in learning and transmission processes and in problem solving. 5) Learning skills: autonomy in further training both in the specific discipline (legal theory) and in the general study of law. 

This activity is intended exclusively for law degree programs, as it focuses on concepts and skills that are closely tied to legal studies. It offers an introduction to reading and understanding legal language, with particular emphasis on fundamental legal concepts and the terminology used by the major schools of thought in legal theory.

  If any answers are incorrect, the student will receive guidance for further study.
