Civil Procedural Law

The teaching methodologies of this subject combine theoretical and practical approaches, based on student-centered pedagogical
strategies, with a focus on the development of cognitive, analytical and applied skills.
To this end, the following methodologies (ME) will be used:
1. Expository, for the presentation of theoretical frameworks of reference in the areas highlighted in the syllabus.
2. Participatory, with analysis and resolution of cases, using computer applications (Mentimeter, Limesurvey)
3. Self-study, related to the student’s autonomous work in preparing the themes of the curricular unit.
The pedagogical approach combines face-to-face teaching (theoretical-practical) and interactive strategies to ensure the acquisition and
application of the proposed knowledge. These methods unfold into three main dimensions:
In-person Teaching (Theoretical-Practical): Presentation and debate of program contents; Carrying out practical work, such as case
analysis, to encourage the practical and collaborative application of knowledge; Use of interactive digital resources to enrich the
understanding of the topics covered; Promotion of collaborative learning, through group work, debates and classroom presentations.
Tutorial Guidance: Individual and small group support to answer questions; Guidance for managing independent studies and preparing
assessment activities; Continuous feedback to identify difficulties and guide the learning process, ensuring that the proposed objectives are
achieved.
Autonomous Learning: Study guided by the recommended bibliography and analysis of complementary resources/materials (specialized
digital resources); Resolution of practical cases through the application of legal provisions; Integration of collaborative learning, promoting
teamwork

The course aims to provide students with mastery of the basic concepts of declaratory civil procedural law, with particular emphasis on the
structuring principles of the process, the bases of judicial organization, procedural assumptions and procedural dynamics.
