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 and Institutions, was assigned to the Doctoral School in Human and Social Sciences.

Since 2018, the PhD in Law and Institutions, currently coordinated by Professor Gabriella M. Racca, 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.



The Ph.D in Law and Institutions ("Diritti e Istituzioni"), is centered not only on an academic training. It rather aims - by providing a specific and continuous preparation - at creating a solid bridge between the academic world and the professional one. This goal, in fact, reflects the assumption that Law is a social science, and as such, aside from a theoretical training, one should address both its historical and positivistic perspectives, by further entailing quantitative studies such as those found in sociology. Because of this approach, the composition of the scientific board reflects the above interdisciplinary methodology, and gathers both scholars approaching Law from a positivistic and sociological point of view, and scholars devoted to  abstract studies.
Therefore, the Ph.D deals with matters broadly related to Public Law, especially with respect to the interactions between subjective legal rights, and the governance and functioning of national, international, and supranational social and institutional organizations.
These different topics are addressed throughout the course of the program, with a transversal approach, varying according to the scientific areas herein involved, so as to promoting their mutual enhancement. Moreover, the Ph.D deals with the legal issues raised by several matters mentioned in the VII EU framework programme, such as: economic and social sciences, humanities, health, information and communication technologies, transportation, environmental studies, energy, public security. At the same time, the program faces topics included in the National Research Plan of the Italian Government (e.g. governance and homeland security).
At the same time, in light of the goals mentioned before, in order to promote its interdisciplinary and pluralistic methodology, the Ph.D envisages several forms of interaction with the program in "Law, Human Being, and the Market".
In light of the above, the Ph.D aims at training students capable of using the essential tools for legal researching, as to acquiring a deepened understanding - on the basis of the different curricula - both of abstract and positivistic legal studies, focusing (also in a comparative perspective) on administrative and constitutional law, criminal law and criminal procedure,  civil law, ecclesiastical law and international law.
The program, of course, needs to be implemented in a complex framework - influenced by the social context and the territorial and multicultural equilibriums - which is becoming increasingly challenging, and includes phenomena such as the European integration, the globalization, and communication technologies, which are constantly influencing the society and the various legal systems.
In conclusion, the Ph.D gives the appropriate tools both for a fruitful prosecution of postgraduate studies, and for a cutting edge training suitable for starting a legal profession (e.g. lawyers and officials serving in national and supranational public). Nevertheless, it also provides a retraining for those who are already in the job market, both in the public and private sector.   


The Ph.D candidates will have to:
- Acquire a systematic understanding of Public law, in the broader sense delineated above, and master the methodological trends in order to develop critical analytic skills with respect to the researched topics;
- Show the capability of building up a research project for their Ph.D thesis, and be able to follow and implement it;
- Choose an original topic, so as to providing a contribution suitable for national or international publication;
- Communicate with their peers, and with the broader academic community (for this purpose the candidates will participate to specific seminars in order to present their current progresses).

Macro-theme for the XXXVI cycle: “Duties and Rights in Legal Culture”
The 1948 Italian Constitution,with the laws that implement it within the legal framework (constitutional, civil, criminal, commercial, administrative and labor law fields), has established a legal order that functionally aims at the implementation of fundamental rights and freedom as well as the fulfillment of related duties. This, in turn, reflects and substantiates the idea of a new society, which cuts off with the past and projects itself toward the future.
From a constitutional perspective, the complex of public and private laws builds up a new legal order that focuses on personalism, which defines the relationships between the State and its citizens, and among the citizens. In order to further promote democracy by increasing the active participation of all political, economic and social stakeholders, there is an urgent and necessary need to acknowledge the complementary role of rights and duties as a sign of ‘a common personalist inspiration’. Accordingly, individuals, who come into contact with other persons or with the subjects of social and institutional pluralism, accept the limitations of some of their rights for the realization of the rights of the whole community, albeit, the presence of constraints arising from public duties or directives from the authority.
In 1984, Paolo Barile, on his study on human rights and fundamental freedoms in modern democracy, emphasized a most interesting elaboration of the Italian doctrine in all fields of legal knowledge by retracing the theme of their development in all social relations from the effectivity of the Republican Constitution. He started from the assumption that there were no general principles that applied in every age and everywhere, and looked at the literature on various means on how the Constitution has resolved conflicts in political and economic-social relations. Interestingly, his study showed that traditionally, both negative and social positive constitutional freedom represented an expression of an identical design to trace a new one, and, it was constantly evolving – from the recognition of the problems towards the development of prospects for future evolution.
Many changes have evolved since the 1980s. Freedom became more complex. It has acquired new profiles and raises further (or confirms old) problems concerning personal freedom, including the need to reconcile freedom of communication, confidentiality and the right to oblivion. This leads us to consider the importance of “freedom of conscience” in a plurality of sectors such as the protection of health in its various meanings. The freedom to invest in economic sphere, i.e., work, business, property, contract, economic regulation, assumes the presence of an essential role for national and international relations. The same consideration applies to constitutional duties to promote political, economic and social solidarity.
This is the result of an evolutionary interpretation of the Constitution, which shall be further investigated – both in the field of public and private law – by taking into account the growing relevance of international norms for the protection of human rights, with particular attention to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) of 1966. In this context, the European Charter of Fundamental Rights, as interpreted by the European Court of Justice and other national courts, plays an increasingly important role for the development of a uniform European private law based on critical comparison of the legal systems.
The PhD in Law and Institutions aims to encourage research activities on the study of the main principles, rights and duties contained in the first part of the Constitution and their impact on all areas of law. The research focuses (in its purposes and investigation methodologies) on the above-mentioned doctrinal approach by analyzing its considerations and developments in the light of the changes that occurred both at the national and supranational levels.
In this perspective, in addition to the constitutional jurisprudence from 1980s on, particular attention and consideration must be given to the overbearing development of the legitimacy of (ordinary and administrative) jurisprudence and its relationship with the European Court of Human Rights and the EU Court of Justice. In addition, due to the multidisciplinary nature of the PhD, the project involves all the cited scientific sectors. This is in order to enhance the different skills of the candidates, and, to critically represent how such general and constitutional principles - which appear to be fundamental determinants - have been interpreted and applied over time.
In a philosophical-juridical, theoretical and comparative perspective, the study of evolutionary constitutional interpretation includes an analysis of all forms of innovations arising from globalization while evaluating the essential theoretical and historical links between equality, freedom and dignity. The research shall investigate the transformation of complex forms of legal-political-economic interactions and the persistence of an evolving “grounding text”.
Candidates are invited to propose a three years research project on the developments of one (or more) of the constitutional duties or rights as proposed above.
