Key Summary
The two-year curriculum in Law and New Technologies covers a wide set of issues concerning current legal dynamics and transformations within the context of the technological revolution. As a program committed to research-based teaching, it relies on the sound experience of the Law Department in this area. The curriculum is inherently interdisciplinary and comparative-based, allowing students to engage in the analysis of complex legal problems. It is marked by a flexible design allowing students to tailor it to their interests and needs.
Core training activities in the first year include introductory courses in law, economy and technology, and European and Comparative Data Law. A rich menu of elective courses integrates the most traditional ones (e.g., EU Law, International Law, Legal History, Comparative Legal Systems) with more innovative ones (e.g., Comparative Law of Digital Markets, Economics of Digital Competition and Innovation, Legal Philosophy in a Global Perspective, Bio Law, etc.).
At the beginning of the second year, students may specialize by selecting the Business & Markets curriculum or the Transnational Law & Fundamental Rights curriculum. Students can choose among a wide range of topics covering fundamental issues through activities based on interaction and innovative teaching methods, including legal clinics and moot court competitions. In-class discussions allow insight into contemporary legal developments as they evolve, enabling critical engagement in a manner that is sensitive to disciplinary perspectives.
The curriculum in Law and New Technologies is designed in cooperation with experts in IT and telecommunications engineering to provide students with a strong theoretical and practical background to respond to changing social demands. This holds particularly but is not limited to demands for new professionals for the national and the international labor markets beyond traditional litigation-based professions and environments, such as consultants and researchers in the private and public sectors (top-level law firms, European and international organizations, NGOs, multinational corporations, etc.).
The curriculum design also reflects changes in the legal paradigm, paying special attention to the transnational dimension of normativity and the multilingual character of contemporary legal systems – in particular, but not limited to the EU. At the completion of the two-year study program, students will be able to benefit from substantial legal knowledge in major jurisdictions via a comparative perspective, conduct research on a wide range of technology-related legal problems, and provide policy-relevant solutions to such problems.
