Complementary Course: "civil Liability and Insurance. Comparison of Civil Law and Common Law Models"

The course aims to provide students:
- knowledge of some topics of tort law in the Italian legal system and in the other legal traditions analysed;
- familiarity with foreign sources of law, particularly in the analysis of the judgements of different Courts;
- an integration to the comparative private law course, with a concrete approach: the analysis of some issues in the field of tort law will offer the opportunity to apply the methodological tools of comparison and to observe some systemological characteristics of the national systems examined.
