GIOVANNI TUZET

Teaching

At Bocconi I have taught Philosophy of Law, Legal Argumentation, Economic Analysis of Law and Legal Hermeneutics.

In the Legal Argumentation classes, after giving the students the relevant theoretical framework, I analyze several cases and judicial decisions, both on evidentiary and interpretive issues. Evidence has always been my major field of legal research, so I concentrate on arguments about facts, not only on normative issues.

In the Economic Analysis of Law classes I concentrate on the philosophical and methodological aspects of the discipline. For instance, what we mean by "efficiency" of the law, "rationality" of economic agents, "welfare" of citizens, and if the claims of the economic analysis of law are descriptive, normative, or both.
