00233 - Civil Procedure Law

Learning outcomes

The course has an institutional nature and aims to make the student achieve the basic systematic knowledge in relation to the judicial protection of rights and the use of the civil process as a tool for the implementation of such protection. Starting from the examination of the general principles of the subject, the analysis moves to the process of cognition, in its various articulations, and then to the executive protection and the so-called special procedures.


The main objective of the course is to confront the student with the complexity of the civil procedural system, in its various articulations and forms of protection, without adopting a notionistic approach but problematic and aimed at enhancing the role of the process as a "tool".

Course contents

I semester: general principles and proceedings at first instance

Teaching methods

The course offers students the opportunity to draft short written opinions and to engage in written argumentation of the legal issues covered in the program, also in preparation for the final exam.

In the course of the lectures, therefore, exercises on the topics covered will take place.

In parallel with the lectures, there will also be one or more in-person exercises, lasting about 2 hours, consisting in the concise illustration of a topic by the lecturer and in the administration to the students of the text of an opinion, which they will have to provide following the indications previously set out (within the time limits and according to the extent indicated by the person in charge of the exercise), finally in the self-correction by the students following a description by the lecturer of the optimal manner and content of carrying out the written response, leaving space for students to ask questions, elaborate, request verification on any errors made.
