Motto
The comparatist explores different legal pathways and learns to engage in dialogue with those who navigate them.
The criminal process is characterized by the inherent conflict between the individual and authority, which is why the procedural norm serves a guarantee function aimed at protecting the rights of the individual.
Creativity is essential for ensuring economic, cultural, and scientific development, while intellectual property law governs the activities of creators. Innovators must uphold ethical values such as fundamental rights, sustainability, and distributive justice to ensure social development.
To avoid being frightened or discouraged by bureaucracy, it is essential to understand the rules of its organization and functioning, that is, administrative law.
Teaching law at Luiss means engaging with both traditional legal models and more innovative, international, and interdisciplinary ones to train today’s professionals who are oriented toward the future.
The degree programme in law offers a solid and comprehensive legal education to produce competent and innovative jurists ready to meet the challenges of the contemporary legal field. The curriculum is designed to cover all major areas of law, including civil, criminal, administrative, commercial, international and labour, ensuring in-depth and versatile knowledge. A distinctive element of this programme are practical activities such as mock trials, negotiations and legal clinics. These activities are supported by a teaching method that makes extensive use of case studies and simulations.

Study Plan
The curriculum, structured over five years, includes the study of fundamental subjects essential for the training of every jurist during the first three and a half years. In the final year and a half, students specialize in one of nine majors, with various courses, including some taught in English, that have a distinctly practical and experiential focus. This approach provides students with the theoretical and practical skills necessary to quickly enter the legal workforce.

In Via Parenzo, I discovered aspects of my personality that I didn't know existed. Not because my tastes have changed, but because my perspective has shifted.
Thanks to the traditional and modern knowledge acquired during my law studies, I can now look to the future with confidence and awareness.
