A quarter delight, three quarters effort, frustration, insatisfaction and self-cricism, inconvenience and sleepless nights. (…) A good text is like the outcome of succesful hunting, it requires long wait, with patience and perseverence. I understood that there is not just one angle from which to look at the world, nor defined landscapes, but just images glimpsed through a moving window. I understood that (…) the stories...

The purpose of a researcher should be to produce knowledge, and the personal merger between form and genuine content accurately indicates the place of an author within the professional community. Creating and using your own concepts and syntagmas are the defining step in this process and are what mark the identity of the scientific discourse. ...

Ideally, I think, for every judge is that the problem of the dispute be a complicated one and with a relevant stake, so that you can hope that the parties will be represented by well-prepared and good-faith legal professionals. Why? Because, in such a case, on one hand, your research work is made easier, and on the other hand, at the end of the dispute, you have that feeling of accomplished duty, of finding the truth (not only the judicial tr...

Try to explain things (the facts of a case, for example) as if the reader would know nothing about it, but also has not much time to read. Because of this, complicated things should be explained as simply as possible. Keywords:

Starting from the Latin saying scripta manent and the local proverb that „forgetting is human”, I find justified saying that what the great specialists of law – pleading lawyers or exceptional professors – affirm is at least useful to be written or preserved by other means of storing information.

Every idea, every article is an experience, an exploration; you start without confidence or perhaps not much interest, as in every beginning, and once you realise that you are able to say something relevant, your written product takes shape; there are those moments, maybe minutes, which seem like small cracks or nuances in relation to which you might have a small contribution.

The point is to show that a text never says just one thing, as we were taught in our law schools, in the fi rst year, that meaning is something that is constructed, that the very texts we are reading and under whose power we live are and always have been battlefields, that behind them there are long histories of battles and conflicts, briefly, that legal interpretation is produced in a „field of pain and death”.

I try (…) with variable success, to write by maintaining a necessary balance, inevitably fragile, between positive law and constitutional history/theory/sociology. Keywords: reflexive interdisciplinarity, branches of...

A study of private law should be written with the conviction, even with the wrong conviction, that it can change the way the legal literature and the case-law see that topic. What I want to underline is that the psycological state of the one who tries to demonstrate an idea counts as much as his or her intellectual capacity or the bibliography that he or she consulted. This state, which I would dare to call „of grace”, could be decisive for or...

Because I want to communicate my ideas as briefly and clearly as possible, writing is laborious. Some problems are difficult or difficult to grasp, and in such cases I insist on them as long as it is necessary. I don’t lose patience and I don’t skip them superficially just to gain time.
