In order to take the civil law exam, students are required to have passed private law and constitutional law exams.
It is essential to have a sound knowledge of the institutional rules and principles of private law. For this reason, it is recommended, before or while studying civil law exam, to review the fundamental notions of contract law (Articles 1321 - 1469 of the Civil Code).
The assessment will be through an oral exam, with the final grade in thirtieth (30/30).
The assessment will take into account the in-depth knowledge of the rules and principles of contract law, the knowledge of scholar’s opinions and of case law, the ability of autonomous critical reworking, the ability to speak and argue.
