Passing Criminal Law is a specific propaedeuticity for taking the course’s exam.
There are no intermediate tests. The final exam is oral.
The questioning will follow the “inverted cone” method, moving from a general question to more specific questions. The final grade will depend on the degree of acquisition of the required knowledge, the communication skills demonstrated by the correct use of technical-legal terms, and the logical and orderly organization of the discourse. In the case of attending students, the final grade will also take into account active participation during class.
he course aims to offer a comprehensive overview of the criminal enforcement phenomenon, from the formation of the judgment to the exhaustion of the enforcement event. Compared to an institutional teaching, more attention will be devoted to casuistic and jurisprudential analysis, including through the examination of acts and judgments, as a necessary complement to the knowledge of general concepts and normative data.
The jurisprudential analysis aims not only at achieving a high degree of knowledge of the subject, such as to withstand the impact of entering the world of work, but also at teaching a method of approaching the legal phenomenon that develops autonomous judgment and learning skills, which the student can usefully employ in his or her future working life, in which timely professional updating plays a decisive role.
By the end of the course, an attempt will be made to organize a visit to a penitentiary institute in Lombardy in order to “field test” the institutions studied in class
Subjects of the course will be:
1. the definition of the subject matter under study, the international framework and constitutional foundations.
2. criminal execution in a strict sense (Book X of the Code of Criminal Procedure).
3. prison law in a strict sense (Law No. 354 of 1975)..
Detailed course schedule will be uploaded to the e-learning page.
Lectures will be conducted in person.
The course is divided into two modules: the first will cover Criminal Enforcement Law in the strict sense (Book X of the Criminal Code); the second one will cover Prison Law in the strict sense (Law No. 354 of 1975).
The subject will be illustrated through lectures in which the starting point of the analysis will be the normative datum. During each lesson, the lecturer, also involving students, will highlight the problems posed by that datum, pointing out the solutions offered by doctrine and case law, thus stimulating students to problematic reasoning.
The lecturer is available before or after class.
Any additional needs (e.g., for thesis information) can always be represented by contacting the lecturer directly via e-mail.
