Maximum number of participants: 60
Total hours of training: 56
Theoretical lectures - practical in-person sessions and exercises: 47 hours

Teaching methodology
All classes emphasize interactive teaching, encouraging student participation in critical and reasoned discussions of the cases presented. Each class will address a case, including a discussion of the sources, case law, and possible defense strategies. At the end of the class, students will be assigned an assignment for drafting a legal document or opinion. Each student paper is marked individually, with the results presented in class by the instructor and, in a personalized manner, by the tutor. Throughout the three semesters, students will alternate between in-class exercises and homework assignments.
During the lessons, specific methodological guidance is provided on drafting techniques, research methods for sources, and case law. Special attention is paid to the use of legal language and proper argumentation.
The lessons are expected to feature both high-ranking and high-level magistrates.
In-depth analysis of doctrine and jurisprudence, as well as updates on legislative developments, conferences, and other news of interest, are available to each student in the reserved area.
