Teaching Methodologies
Teaching cannot fail to be theoretical-practical. There is, evidently, a two-way, reciprocally complementary relationship between doctrine,
jurisprudence and the specific requirements of “cutting into the flesh of interests”, as a great civilist said. “Interactive” and bidirectional
learning between student and teacher gains greater weight, forming a kind of complex system of waves of spiral propagation of formative
informational and communicational flows that go from the concrete problems of life (A) to normativity (B) or current law, which dialectically
and respectively project both on the refinement of the level of analysis of concrete cases of life, and on the concrete refinement of the
criterion that is practical-normatively objectified by the legal norm, to finally converge and condense into a final informational and formative
communicational providing an effective self-determining, informational and communicational affirmation, existentially differentiated in each
student (C).
With this, the student acquires generic skills [global skills, common to the various university training courses that may be instrumental
(cognitive, methodological, technical and linguistic skills), interpersonal (individual skills developed in environments of cooperation, decisionmaking
and social interaction) or systemic (adaptation and leadership capabilities, initiative and creativity)] and specific [acquisition,
mastery, application and communication of knowledge in a given area of ??knowledge] that will allow you to buckle up the chosen
professional mask, as such learning imports an acquis of skills, qualifications and knowledge essential for carrying out a given activity or
obtaining a specific professional profile.
Learning Results
The subject aims to provide a precise notion of the main institutes in this branch of Private Law that complements the subject “Family Law”.
At the end, the student must acquire the following skills
01. Identify the general assumptions of hereditary succession;
02. Identify the type of succession (contractual, legitimate, testamentary and legitimate);
03. Understand in what terms the succession opens and a succession vocation proceeds, in the context of a pre-existing or vacant
inheritance (for the State);
04. Identify the essential regulatory differences in terms of acquisition, disposal and liquidation of inheritance;
05. Identify the different forms of sharing, judicial and extrajudicial, of inheritance;
06. Understand the specificities of contractual, legitimate, legitimate and testamentary succession;
07. Learn and prepare a will, with the formulation of testamentary leaves, with legacies and new hereditary attributions, to legitimate heirs or
third parties
