There is no need of specific knowledge or competence different from those due to the enrollment to the relative course of study
a) Knowledge and understanding: public law implies an in-depth knowledge of national institutions and their functioning; the knowledge of the decision-making procedures enacting different types of legal sources as well as their organization within the national legal system. Public law classes also involve the understanding of the main fundamental rights and their guarantees; furthermore, they entail the relationship between national legal system and the European legal system. b) Applying knowledge and understanding: students, at the end of the classes, must be able to apply the theoretical concepts and notions provided by public law to concrete and real cases. c) Making judgement: at the end of the classes of public law, students must be able to understand the main institutional dynamics of both, the Italian form of government and its political system as well as their relationship with the European institutions. Students must also be able to understand and interpret individual and collective fundamental rights. d) Communication skills: at the end of the classes of public law students are endowed with the ability to master technical and legal terms for the aim of better understanding of normative texts, chiefly through knowledge of the Constitution and the main statutory laws that carried it out. e) Learning skills: students are endowed with the ability to develop a critical and logical understanding of institutional and normative concepts typical of public law.
Classes will go through the constitutional organization of the Italian State, the role and functions of its public powers, the territorial organization of the Italian Republic, its relationship with the European Union and the fundamental rights of citizens. The second part of the course (for students with 9 ECTS) will deal with the fundamental principles of the economic Constitution, both Italian and European, with the subjects of free undertaking and competition law, the essential public services, the public spending and as well as the limits to public debt.
Public law entails three main parts. The first one concerns the constitutive features of the State and the EU with specific focus on the public institutions by means of which States and the European level act within different form of government or governance. The second one concerns (national and European) sources of law, their decision-making process and their features within the whole system of (national or supranational) law. The third one concerns the guarantees of people towards public authorities, i.e. fundamental rights and judicial review.
