PhD in Law, the Individual and the Market

Starting from the XXVI cycle the Doctoral Schools of the University of Turin have been reorganized. The Doctoral School in Law ceased on the 31st December 2010. The courses related to it have been merged into two new PhD programs:Law, the Individual and the Market; Law and Institutions.

From 2011 to 2018, the PhD in Law, the Individual and the Market was assigned to the Doctoral School in Human and Social Sciences.

Since 2018, the PhD in Law, the Individual and the Market, currently coordinated by Professor Elena D'Alessandro, is incorporated in the Doctoral School established by the Rectoral Decree no. 3411 of 30/08/2018.

The School is aimed at promoting and implementing the strategic choices involving the PhD, as defined by the governing bodies of the University. The School promotes, coordinates and implements the educational, cultural and interdisciplinary activities, respecting the specificity of the different PhD courses. These activities are a fundamental and integrative part of the University's third level educational offer. The School guarantees the quality of PhD Courses through the implementation of internal evaluation as defined by the governing bodies of the University.

Introduction
The PhD program is focused on the study of emerging legal phenomena at the global level, in a perspective not limited to domestic law. The research makes use of comparative and empirical analysis, a necessary tool for a critical analysis that can be validated according to internationally recognized methodologies.
The PhD program also aims at educational objectives that are not exclusively academic, in the framework of an integration between the university and the professional world. In particular, it aims to train people capable of entering the world of professions and businesses at the highest levels, reaffirming the role of a theoretically rigorous critical training, such as that which characterizes the PhD. Consequently, doctoral students must carry out original research, providing a contribution that must be worthy of publication.

Scope of research
The program addresses the disciplines of private law that are influenced by the process of evolution and change of law in the present age: access to justice and public institutions, gender, health, energy, environment and climate change.
The courses offered in the framework of the PhD program are taught by professors from the University of Turin and from leading European institutions, identified primarily by the Scientific Committee of the 2023-2027 Excellence Project (link being activated), as well as by protagonists of legal culture engaged at a high level in the development of law, such as representatives of the European judiciary.

Such a multicultural teaching staff will ensure an adequate internationalization of the program, which is also promoted through mandatory research stays abroad of 12 months by PhD candidates.

This approach aims at developing the ability of PhD candidates to draft innovative proposals with a critical awareness of the various dimensions of the legal experience, both in terms of interpreting and applying current law, and in the development of new theoretical approaches.

Last, the PhD program is characterized by its strong approach to empirical legal studies, and transdisciplinary legal research.

Subject areas
The program covers several thematic areas under the 7^th EU Framework Program: not only socio-economic sciences, of course, but also other thematic areas (health, information and communication technologies, energy, environment, transport) for a necessary analysis of their legal implications, and has obtained additional resources on these issues in the form of grants provided by external bodies.
The objectives of our PhD program are not merely academic. Thanks to the development of collaborations aimed at a continuous and specialized training, the program intends to fostera greater integration between the academic and the professional worlds and benefits from the contribution of scholars engaged in the University project concerning the European legal culture, of which the coordinator of the doctorate is the holder. In particular, it aims to train people capable of entering the world of professions and businesses at the highest levels, reaffirming the role of a theoretically rigorous critical training, such as that which characterizes the PhD.

Acquired skills
PhD students in Law, the Individual and the Market:

will acquire a systematic understanding of private law, in its broadest sense, and should gain a deep knowledge of current methodological empirical practice;
will acquire the skills to design a research project, preferably of a transdisciplinary or multidisciplinary nature, which will lead to the drafting of the doctoral thesis;
will be able to work in team;
will be able to conduct an original scientific research, making a contribution that, at least in part, must be worthy of publication at national or international level;
will be able to communicate with their peers and with the wider community of scholars (jurists and non-jurists) and the public.

From the 38^th cycle, the PhD course activated an international curriculum in cooperation with the University of Navarra.
The primary aim of this curriculum is to enhance the scientific collaboration between the two institutions, in order to develop joint research about the following topics: Company/Business Law, Civil Law, Human Rights, Climate change and Artificial Intelligence.
The second aim is to make sure that this collaboration leads to the participation of the two universities to calls within the Horizon Europe Program with a team composed of International Curriculum candidates.

The international curriculum will lead PHD students to the award of a doctoral diploma by the University of Turin. The University of Navarra will be privileged Partner for the implementing of jointly-supervised doctoral thesis for candidates enrolled to the International Curriculum.

PhD Courses will be managed by the University of Turin, in collaboration with the University of Navarra.

PHD Educational activities will be carried out in English.

PhD students enrolled in the International Curriculum must spend a research period at the University of Navarra of 12 months. Part of travel expenses and costs related to the research period abroad will be covered by the increasing of the PhD scholarship provided by the University of Turin.

After the selection process, all students admitted to the International Curriculum of the PhD Program in “Law, the Individual and the Market” will have to complete the procedure of enrollment to the Program in “Law, the Individual and the Market” at University of Turin.

The research project and the Tutor are assigned by the Board of teachers within three months from the beginning of the PhD. The doctorate program include a period of research abroad of 12 months, which is mandatory for doctoral fellows. This period can also take place in a non-continuous manner during the three-year period.
The research project for outgoing co-tutorial doctoral students and incoming co-tutorial doctoral students is determined by the tutors appointed by the respective Teaching Boards within the framework of the co-tutorial agreement signed by the two universities.

Disciplinary and interdisciplinary training activities

The educational offer of the PhD Program in Law, the Individual and the Market includes specific lectures providing theoretical and practical insights into the main research topics covered by the doctorate. The list of mandatory courses is made available before the start of the academic year.

Doctoral students not on mobility abroad are required to attend doctoral lessons in person, except for online lessons with teachers connected from outside Turin.

Below the list of the mandatory courses (AY 2022-2023):

Library Resources (Dr. Cristina Fiore): compulsory for the first year (XXXVIII cycle)
European project planning (organized by the PTA of the Law Department): compulsory for all active cycles (XXXVI, XXXVII and XXXVIII)

October 10, 2023: Deadline for submitting annual reports to dottorati.cle@unito.it (relating to a lecture, seminar or conference attended during the year and another on research activities).

In November 2023, the Teaching Board will decide on admission to the 2nd year. The decision of the Teaching Board will be transmitted to the staff of the Doctoral Office, which will send an email informing about the deadline for payment of the enrollment fee for the 2nd year. The Doctoral Office's communications will be sent to the institutional account.
A positive evaluation by the Teaching Board on the activities of the last year of the course is a condition for admission to the final exam.
Following a positive evaluation of the activities of the last year of the course, the Teaching Board proceeds, for each doctoral candidate, after consulting the tutor, to appoint at least two evaluators (plus at least one substitute), and sets the deadline for the presentation of the thesis. The evaluators must be highly qualified professors, external to the University of Turin, to the partner Universities that contribute to the award of the Doctorate title, and to the Teaching Board (T. Board). The evaluators may serve in this capacity for several candidates. The thesis, accompanied by a summary in Italian or English, is written in Italian or English or in another language upon authorization from the T. Board.
The doctoral thesis, and the doctoral candidate's report on the activities carried out during the doctoral program, are presented by the doctoral candidate to the evaluators within the deadline set by the T. Board. Doctoral students in the XXXVI cycle will be allowed, starting from the conclusion of the last year of the Doctorate (including extensions), a maximum of six months to submit their thesis to the evaluators. The evaluators provide a written analytical judgment on the thesis (within one month of receiving the thesis) and propose its admission to the public discussion or a deferment for a period not exceeding six months if significant integrations or corrections are required.
The doctoral candidate is required to make the required integrations and/or corrections.
The PhD candidate is required to make the integrations and/or corrections requested. After this period, the thesis is in any case admitted to the public discussion, accompanied by a new written opinion from the same evaluators, made in light of any corrections or integrations that have been made. The Coordinator acts as a liaison between the PhD candidate and the evaluators in the event of referral by only one evaluator.
The public discussion takes place before an examining committee composed of at least three experts in the field (with respective alternates), mostly external to the University, appointed by the T. Board of within 30 days from the admission to the public discussion. It is possible to appoint a single committee for multiple candidates. The evaluators may be part of the examining committee.

The T. Board may authorize participation in the public discussion via teleconference.
The committee must complete its work within 90 days from the rectoral decree of appointment. After this term, the committee that has not completed its work shall expire and the Rector shall appoint a new committee, excluding the expired members.
The final examination consists of the public discussion of the thesis. At the end of the discussion, the thesis, with motivated collective judgment, is approved or rejected. The committee, with a unanimous vote, may grant honors in the presence of particularly noteworthy scientific results.
The degree is issued by the Rector who, upon request of the interested party, certifies its attainment.
Following the attainment of the degree, it is the candidate's responsibility to deposit the thesis in the institutional open access archive, which guarantees its preservation and public accessibility. The University shall deposit the thesis in compliance with the law at the National Libraries of Florence, Rome, and Turin and in the ministerial database.
In case of co-tutorship, the candidate shall discuss the thesis according to the rules of the University where the discussion takes place.
For the purpose of filling out the Doctorate Form, the Coordinator invites PhD candidates to indicate in the research activity report the publications produced, the training activities and the periods abroad carried out in 2023 (only specify the activities organized by external entities to the Doctorate).

At its meeting of 7 March 2018, the Teaching Board made admission to the third-year subject to the fact that the PhD student had at least one publication, even during the printing phase.

The positive evaluation of the Teaching Board on the activities carried out during the last year of the PhD program is a condition for the admission to the final exam.

After a positive evaluation of the last year activities, the Teaching Board will appoint at least two evaluators (plus at least one substitute) for each PhD student, after hearing the tutor's opinion, and will establish the deadline for the presentation of the thesis. The evaluators must be highly qualified professors, external to the University of Turin, to the affiliated universities that contribute to the award of the doctoral degree and to the Teaching Board. Evaluators may take on this function for more than one candidate.

The thesis, accompanied by a summary in Italian or English, is written in Italian or English or in another language with the authorization of the Teaching Board.
The thesis, which must be accompanied by a report of the PhD student on the activities carried out during the PhD and on any publications, is submitted by the PhD student to the evaluators within the deadline set by the Board. The PhD students of the XXXIV cycle will be granted a maximum period of six months to send their thesis to the evaluators (31 March 2022).
The evaluators express a written analytical opinion on the thesis (within one month after receiving the thesis) and propose its admission to public discussion or postponement for a period not exceeding six months if they consider significant additions or corrections necessary.

The PhD student is required to make the required additions and/or corrections.
After this period, the thesis is in any case admitted to public discussion, accompanied by a new written opinion of the same evaluators, made in the light of any corrections or additions made.

The Coordinator acts as a link between the PhD student and the evaluators in the event of rejection by a single evaluator.
Public discussion takes place before an Examination Commission composed of at least three experts in the field (with their respective substitutes), the majority of whom are not members of the Board, appointed by the Teaching Board within 30 days since the admission to public discussion. It is possible to appoint a single Commission for several candidates. The evaluators may be members of the Examination Commission.

The Teaching Board may authorise participation in the public discussion by electronic means.

The Commission is required to complete its work within 90 days of the Dean's appointment decree.

After this deadline, the Commission that has not completed its work shall not be considered valid and the Dean shall appoint a new Commission, with the exception of those members of the previous Commission.

The final exam consists in the public discussion of the thesis. At the end of the discussion, the thesis, with a justified collective judgement, is approved or rejected. The Commission, with unanimous vote, has the right to give honors in the presence of results of particular scientific importance.

The title is issued by the Dean who, at the request of the interested party, certifies his/her achievement.

After obtaining the title, the candidate will be responsible for filing the thesis in the institutional archive with open access, which will ensure its preservation and public consultation. The University will deposit the thesis in accordance with the law at the National Libraries of Florence, Rome and Turin and in the ministerial database.

Joint Doctoral thesis agreements
The candidate will discuss the thesis according to the rules of the university where the discussion takes place.

The committee's formal terms of reference is to comply with evaluation in accordance with ANVUR's requirements. To satisfy this obligation, the two questionnaires ANVUR supplied were circulated to all PhD candidates from Cycle XXXV to XXXVIII.
Significantly, the committee's key objective is to obtain meaningful feedback on the programme's PhD candidates' academic experience.
Assessment is in three compartments: the Research Activity, the Disciplinary and Interdisciplinary Activities and the Complementary Activities. Three principal questions relating to these activities is (i) what the students liked about the activity, (ii) what the students
did not like about the given activity; and (iii) what could be improved by the activity. The questionnaire also incorporated other questions relating to students' overall opinion of the library, offices, supervisor support and more.
A first evaluation specifically covered the scheduled lectures held between November 1, 2022 and April 30, 2023.
