Property Law

The course presupposes a strong knowledge of the essential notions of Law, taught either in the Introduction to Law or in the General Theory of Civil Law, since the rhetoric of legal-real rights implies the use of many legal institutes, taught in such disciplines.

The teaching method is theoretical-practical, appealing, essentially, to a critical participation of students, simulating, here and beyond, theoretical-practical situations, similar to those they will know in forensic life. More than expository teaching, inclusive, provocative-to-criticism and student participation are required.

To allow to the pupils a global and specific perspective of the definitive and provisory ordinance of the property in the Portuguese legal system. To endow the pupils with the “typical grammar” of the Property law, in the direction of allowing the boarding them
of the diverse “real” situations, that they will go to find to the level of the practical forensic life, in the direction of them legally to characterize correctly all the real professional situation.
