The teaching of the curricular unit is based on a model of theoretical exposition of the syllabus, which is later complemented with a practical aspect consisting of the analysis and interpretation of jurisprudence and the resolution of hypothetical situations but inspired by real life. For their continuous assessment, students take 1 or 2 written tests (60%), with assessment elements also being participation in scientific events organized by the faculty, attendance, oral participation and the quality of written expression (40%) . Failure to attend 70% of theoretical and practical classes is an objective criterion for excluding the student from continuous assessment, and may even make it impossible for them to take the continuous assessment test or, if applicable, the second continuous assessment test. In the absence of continuous assessment, the student may take the appeal exam.
