The course provides a reflection on contemporary law or, more precisely, a theorisation, in the sense of problematisation, of the methods and fundamentals of law.

With the aim of developing both the students' critical abilities and their knowledge of the different currents and main concepts in legal theory, this course draws on the knowledge acquired in the courses in positive law, in philosophy, and in the humanities. A crossroads course, therefore, it aims to promote the interdisciplinarity that characterises the Bachelor of Laws programme.

The course will be given ex cathedra, in a large classroom, unless sanitary regulations require distance learning.

Legal practitioners will be invited to echo the theoretical notions and to engage in debate with the students.
