COURSE AIMS AND FEATURES
The Doctorate aims to promote, by connecting different perspectives, the logic of interdisciplinarity, between substantive law and legal protection techniques, prioritizing the comparison of legal systems and their historical foundations. The doctorate's scientific-disciplinary areas are Roman Law, Civil Law, Commercial Law, Comparative Law, Financial Market Law, and Civil Procedural Law. The program is open to contemporary experience as broadly as possible, with particular reference to the Roman legal system and its interaction with other legal traditions.
The program's two tracks, in light of the doctorate's international vocation, provide a uniform training basis through shared objectives, as well as the achievement of more specialized, interdisciplinary training.
1) JUDICIAL PROTECTION OF RIGHTS The program aims to provide training focused on the management of complex legal issues, through a perspective of interpenetration between substantive (civil and commercial) law and procedural law, within a context of legal comparison and a focus on internationalization. Students will be guided through their specific research and thesis preparation by a tutor and supervisor, and guided in their research methods and objectives. They will complement theoretical training with experiences in dealing with judicial institutions, professional environments, and alternative dispute resolution models.
2) ROMAN LAW, ROMAN LEGAL SYSTEM, AND COMPARISON. The program aims to provide a thorough grounding in Roman Law and its role in the Roman legal system. Particular emphasis is placed on comparisons with other models, such as those of the European Union, Latin American countries, Islamic countries, and Chinese law. The program uses the methods and tools of historical-legal sciences and comparative law to address diachronic and synchronic analysis.
Career opportunities are primarily in the legal profession, the judiciary, public administration officials, business managers, notaries, academia, and careers in international government agencies.
