Course organization
The course will focus on the deepening of the institutions of family law, with a focus to the changes that have affected this law in recent years. Specifically, we will try to analyze the family`s branch as a social entity and fundamental right of the person and the marriage. We will analyze filiation in all its forms as well.
At the same time, the instruments envisaged to protect the weak person will be studied.
The aim is to provide the student with the tools to understand the legal issues involving the family and to carry out a critical analysis of several problems.

The exam will be conducted with an oral interview aimed at verifying the understanding of the subjects covered by the course and related legal issues. The oral exam is unique about the whole program.
The attending students can however choose - alternatively - to make an oral presentation on a chosen topic and agreed in advance with the teacher. Such exposure, where it implies a positive and satisfactory result, will replace the above oral examination.
