This course is a lecture, nevertheless the subject matter can be illustrated by the analysis of documents and/or jurisprudential decisions.

The final assessment is a written examination. It will assess the knowledge of the subject matter contained in the syllabus, as well as discussed in class, including the commented jurisprudential decisions.
During the entire examination, the students may refer to the legal and statutory texts. However, these documents may not include any annotations (with the exception of possible cross-references to other legal devices without any further comment).

The certificative asessment of this module consists of a single exam. It is therefore not possible to transfer any part of the grade.
