| Written examination |
The written test consists of the development of a theme of: 1. Administrative Law; 2. Constitutional Law and General Public Law; 3. Criminal Law and Procedure; 4. International and European Law; 5. Law and Economics, extracted from three traces prepared by the Commission for each curriculum. For the curriculum of Law and Criminal Procedure, the topics of the exam may be about, at the discretion of the Commission, or an argument - to be extracted from a triad - between Criminal Law and the Criminal Procedure or a theme chosen by the candidate - also extracted from a three - of Criminal Law or Criminal Procedure. Normally the discussion is of a theoretical nature (not as practical as proof of qualification for the profession) and can also be inspired by relevant case law. With regard to the International Law and European Union Law curriculum, two separate lists of three topics for each subject will be chosen by the board of examiners. Within each of the lists, one topic will be drawn by candidates and will be the subject of the written part of the test.
Test language: ITALIAN.
The evaluation criteria of the written test are the following: grammatical and syntactic correctness; expository clarity; completeness of the treatment; consistent and orderly argumentative development; problematic analysis of the topics; knowledge of the doctrinal debate and the main jurisprudential addresses; historical-comparative framework.
Candidates who have obtained a minimum grade of 40/60 are admitted to the oral exam. |
