Law, Market and Person
former "European Law on Civil, Commercial and Labour Contracts"
Doctorate Coordinator
professor Luigi Benvenuti (luigi.benvenuti@unive.it.)
Educational objectives
The Doctoral Programme is specifically designed to train European experts to understand the formation mechanisms of contemporary law, determined by the interactions between European law and the different national laws, in the field of economics law, competition and the market system, and in particular, contract rules.
Commercial contracts, consumer contracts, labour contracts, public utilities contracts as well as corporation contracts will be analysed among the different curricula of the research doctorate, both through the research activities of each doctoral student, as well as workshops and teaching activities held by Italian and foreign scholars.
Moreover, a new curriculum in labour legislation was implemented for the academic year 2009/2010. The latter focuses on urban planning, organisational and societal issues, including the tricky relationship between public and private law when examined by a transversal approach. Each curriculum will also consider the methodical aspects of the General Theory of Law and Research Methods in Law, as requested by the plurality of the normative sources.
