The course aims to illustrate and critically explore the rules of governance in societies closed and open shares and their relationship with the protection of savings. It is also proposed to examine a series of jurisprudential cases of corporate law, assigned by the teacher in advance, exposed by the more willing students and discussed collegially in class. As for knowledge and understanding skills, we aim to develop in students, both both remotely and in presence, knowledge and awareness of the interdisciplinary dimension of law commercial and mutual influence between efficient management of the company and protection of investors and stakeholders. As for the ability to apply knowledge, the aim is to develop in students the ability to apply the knowledge provided to understand and distinguish legal function and motivations historical-political-economic aspects of the legislation and draw consequent interpretative deductions. In order to make independent judgement, the student will have to acquire the ability to connect sources together regulations and to develop one's own judgment in the light of doctrinal and jurisprudential guidelines controversial. Regarding communication skills, the student will have to acquire the ability to present the knowledge acquired clearly, with technical language and to have developed the ability to critical evaluation and argumentation.
Course Prerequisites
In-depth knowledge of the main institutes of private law and basic commercial law. The passing the basic commercial law exam is preparatory to the possibility to take the advanced commercial law exam. However, it is possible to attend the course progressed despite not having yet passed the basic commercial law exam.
Teaching Methods
The teaching activity consists of 35 hours of lessons, which presuppose a participatory method of students, who will be assigned jurisprudential cases or topics to present or discuss. Within the limits of the hours available for the course, each student who makes himself available, individually, a case will be assigned. The case will be presented by the assigned student and discussed in the classroom collegially; all participants must have read it before the lesson. The exposition of the case will be evaluated for a certain fraction of the vote (30% of the overall vote). The cases they will also be uploaded to the e-learning platform and will constitute, for all students, subject for the exam, and this both in the case of the student attending in person and in the case of attending a distance.
Assessment Methods
The exam will take place in written form and will be divided into two parts: - n. 15 multiple choice questions on listed company law (lesson notes for i attending students and text by Cera - see infra - for non-attending students); - n. 3 "open" questions, to which the student will have to answer with a short written dissertation, on the monographic part and - for those attending - on the jurisprudential cases covered in class. Each of the closed questions will be given a score of two, for a total of 30 points. TO each of the "open" questions will be given a score from 0 to 30, the three votes obtained will be mediated. The final grade, assigned out of thirty, is obtained from the average of the grade assigned to each of the two parts that make up the test. Nonetheless, to pass the exam the candidate must be at least sufficient in both parts; otherwise he will have to repeat the test in its entirety starting from the next appeal. For students who have presented a jurisprudential case in class, the evaluation of the their exposure will count 30% of the final grade. The duration of the exam is 75 minutes. The test is aimed at verifying the acquisition and correct understanding of the material proposed teaching. The vote will take into account the student's ability to correctly answer the questions asked, demonstrating that they possess language skills, aptitude for reasoning, and the ability to argue with a critical spirit. Honors will be awarded if the student has particularly distinguished himself for the linguistic and argumentative skills demonstrated.
