The fundamental objective of this subject is that the student applies the basic principles of the commercial judicial processes and elaborates precise procedural writs for the commercial judicial defense through the methodology of the case.
It recognizes and values the arguments that are at the basis of the mercantile legal processes and identifies emblematic references for each case.
It elaborates all the precise procedural writs for the commercial judicial defense of a client.

It applies the rules of the test in the mercantile process.
The University Master's Degree in Abogacía bases its methodology on the "case method" that consists of studying the real assumptions and problems that are dealt with in the offices. The students prepare and analyze the cases, identify the problems and, individually or in groups, once in class together with the teacher, look for solutions and make a common pool of possible alternatives to solve them.
With the case method we intend to help the student to acquire the main skills of a good lawyer, such as logical reasoning, ease of oral expression and mastery of language, among others.
The Module on Commercial Litigation consists of 4 ECTS of which 40 hours are teaching and 50 hours are a minimum that will be required of the student's work and from which it will be evaluated.
