	Objectives
	THE COURSE AIMS AT PROVIDING STUDENTS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAIN INSTITUTIONS OF COMMON LAW THROUGH THE HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF THE EVOLUTION OF THEIR SYSTEMS. THE MAIN EDUCATIONAL GOALS CONCERN: A) THE ABILITY TO INTEGRATE KNOWLEDGE RELATING TO ONE'S OWN LEGAL SYSTEM WITH THAT RELATING TO THE SYSTEMS BELONGING TO THE COMMON LAW TRADITION; B) THE ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE THE PLURALISM OF LEGAL SOURCES AND ITS COMPLEXITY; C)THE ABILITY TO FORMULATE CRITICAL JUDGMENTS AND TO ELABORATE REFLECTIONS IN AUTONOMY; D) THE ABILITY TO APPLY THE METHODOLOGIES OF LEGAL COMPARISON, IN ORDER TO ACQUIRE MULTIDISCIPLINARY SKILLS FOR A FRUITFUL STUDY OF THE DIFFERENT LEGAL TRADITIONS. THE FINAL PURPOSE IS TO TRAIN FUTURE GRADUATES WITH LEGAL SKILLS AND ABILITIES THAT CAN BE USED AT A TRANSNATIONAL LEVEL, AND WITH A SENSITIVITY THAT IS RESPECTFUL OF DIFFERENT LEGAL CULTURES.
