Law students take on the Mafia

By Tamsin Smith
BBC News, Rome

A university lecture hall packed full before 11am is a rare sight.
But law students taking part in Italy's first Mafia studies course at Rome University fill the aisles and stairways.

"Can you believe it - 500 students have enrolled," says a surprised Professor Mario Trapani, one of the course directors at Rome University's law faculty.

"We never expected this many applications. This course is really the first of its kind in Italy."

A high profile panel of experts provide the first lesson.

1. TAKING ON the Mafia? I think not.

I think they mostly just want to get acquainted with the legal needs of their future employers.
