Course description

The aim of the course is to provide students with an adequate knowledge of contract law in the light of Italian and European regulation, case law and doctrine. The study of contracts is oriented in an international perspective, in accordance with the global market process. The study program focuses on the different characteristics of the contract law: freedom of contract, basic elements of the agreement, the process of formation, with particular attention to the most important reforms of the last twenty years (e.g., the reforms in consumer law). In the special section of the program, further studies on the system of sources of law, interpretation and on the system of warranties aim to promote a practical and analytical approach with a specific reflection on the legal method and on the need to identify the applicable law in relation to concrete interests.
