Learning is achieved through lectures, with a second part of the course including exercises to apply legal material processing techniques, especially case law, using specialized databases. There is also the opportunity to attend seminars on specialized topics to develop skills in issues of particular ethical and social importance. Renowned professors and legal practitioners also participate in the course. Specific lessons are planned to delve deeper into comparative studies.

Attendance is recommended, but is not mandatory. Access to the in itinere tests is permitted only to students who have attended at least two-thirds of the lessons.

Generally, three questions are asked: the first more general, the second more specific, and a third very specific one, in order to test the student's ability to process legal material and acquired knowledge. An intermediate written test is possible for attending students to evaluate their ability to learn and apply acquired knowledge, as well as to critically process doctrinal and jurisprudential material.
