    Face-to-face Short presentations are used to introduce fundamental concepts, immediately followed by moments of interaction with students through guided discussion, analysis of practical cases, and reading/interpretation of legal regulations, in order to promote meaningful and contextualized learning. Independent work Students are encouraged to explore the topics covered in class in greater depth through guided reading of legislation and supporting materials, as well as through the independent resolution of practical cases, which will then be discussed and clarified in the face-to-face sessions.
