Learning Objectives - Last names A-G
The course aims at making students aware of the rules that regulate the main subject of the criminal proceedings, developing a willingness to understand the issues that arise in the process, with particular reference to the protection of the rights of the injured party wishing to exercise the civil action damage within the criminal trial. You want to stimulate the ability to critically learn about the ways in which it implements the decision-making function of the court, with particular reference to the maximum of experience and the scientific laws that integrate the evidential reasoning. The course also intends to introduce the evidence of discipline, which is a real sub-process in the criminal trial.
We tend to communicate the ability to understand the rationale of the institutes also according to the system in which they are placed.
It confers jurisdiction to address key legal issues that arise in relation to the static part of the criminal procedure law. Students will be enabled to evaluate and to solve the main problems by arguing in the light of the criminal procedural law principles contained in the Constitution and the guarantees provided for in international conventions relating to human rights.
