Global Law and Transnational Legal Studies

All the applicants to the Global Law and Transnational Legal Studies who will failed the TARM (namely their TARM’s score is lesser than twenty fiftieths) will not have to do the Passport.U course, but will be obliged to carry out Additional Educational Requirements (OFA) through the attendance of a specific alignment program.

All the applicants who have done an incoming or a changing transfer procedure from another degree course, with the recognition of up to 20 credits from the previous university career, will not have to undergo the TARM, but they will have to fulfill the Additional Educational Requirements (OFA).

 The training will last 20 hours and its main purpose is helping students to acquire the basic instruments needed for their university study, above all legal issues’ study. Lessons, both theoretical and practical, will be given in English. Students will be actively involved in simulation and practice exercises.

At the end of the course students will take an exam. After successful completion of the test, students will meet the Additional Educational Requirements required. This test is mandatory and it is repeatable only once. To take the test it is necessary to attend at least two thirds of the lessons.

It should also be noted that the attendance at this course is also open to all interested students, even those to whom OFAs are not required.

The textbook useful through the course is: Edward H. Levi, An Introduction to Legal Reasoning, University of Chicago Press, 107 pp. The book is available to Polo Bobbio’s libraries or can be easily find online.

Further information (start day, schedule, professor) about OFAs will be published at the latest by December. However, students who have failed the Test for the Assessment of Minimum Requirements (TARM) will receive an email to their UNITO’s address (nome.cognome@edu.unito.it) containing instructions to proceed with the registration to OFA’s course.
