The Doctorate in "Legal Sciences" intends to develop a multidisciplinary cognitive path of the evolutionary dynamics of Western legal systems, and European ones in particular, in the transition from their traditional contexts of reference to those that are emerging in the scenarios of globalized post-modernity. The objective of training jurists aware of these changes and capable of facing the challenges in both the theoretical and practical fields is pursued along two lines of study and in-depth analysis.
The first looks at the person and the market as characteristic phenomena of the present, considering the ways of interaction and possible compatibilities, from an interdisciplinary perspective, critically rereading the lines of development of living law and the possible ways of its concrete (and not just legislative) evolution. The second aims to provide critical keys to understanding our legal identity, also through comparison with different scenarios, in time and space, with particular attention to certain long-term polarities (law of laws or jurists; civil law and common law, private law and public law; national law and supranational law).
