This will allow the students to solve real problems in the different areas of specialization, since it will always be necessary to go back to the theory content, as the solving of cases has to have a meticulous study of each discipline by the students in order to surpass the different courses within the evaluation criteria. Teaching methodology: For each course student will receive a summary of case studies to be solved as scheduled. Each lesson will have specific reading material (doctrinal documents, case-law or administrative resolutions); without prejudice that the professor will provide an introduction of the theory at the beginning of each session in order to find the basic problems and put them within the unit¿s content in each of the cases.
