Writing as a judge is a more recent activity for me. I am still during the period of reflection concerning many aspects of this profession, among which the clear, convincing and concise expression of the arguments on which a judgment is based represents a personal priority. I noted for a long time the opacity of many written documents in the judicial world, in Romania and elsewhere. I also noted the differences in style between various types o...

In my research activity, I have started, lately, to write only when I am really interested on a topic or when I believe that I have something to say about a certain issue. (…) (thus) I write only when I can answer, in advance, to three questions: What do I mean with what I write? What is the issue I have previously identified? and What answer do I have to that issue?

If writing a piece proves necessary, then a writing project is put together with all that it entails – a mission statement, a roadmap marked by qualitative and quantitative milestones, a calendar and of course, executive instructions, to detail. Keywords: ...

I think I write when I have something to say. It is an impetus of anyone concerned with law, with the world, with the way world and times change, of anyone who intellectually pursue the truth and the good. My goal for the text is to let the truth shine, bring the light to dissipate the darkness, bring clarity where everything is obscure. ...

The choice of a certain style of legal writing is not only ad professionis one, but one that depends much on our fundamental view towards the relation between rules and freedom. Therefore, I believe that a legal writing in a cultural environment oriented predominantly towards efficiency of rules reveals a certain lack of interest for the individual freedom, a statism concealed as pragmatism. The positivism, which is a lack of philoso...

For the most part, added value comes from a new perspective, most often identifiable in other systems of law or even in other fi elds of study. However much we might wish otherwise, it is exceptionally rare that we can claim paternity over a question of law. Almost always, in its substance, the researched problem will have been formulated before, perhaps in other words, in other times, in a different place or with a different starting point. C...

„… I mostly rewrite. Unlike in high school or during law school, when it was a sacrilege to cut even a single word I had written, now I am merciless in eliminating pages, if they don’t fi t the message I wish to send. (I notice that the LLM students have the same problem: they do not wish to cut certain parts of their thesis if I suggest them to do so). I often replace words, phrases, paragraphs, pages.”

Mapping of personal data processing is one of the important technical activities that must be carried out in the case of certain personal data operators. However, the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation has led to a number of problems, some of which are presented in the present paper.

It has been three years since the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force, one of the most debated and analysed piece of EU legislation. Throughout this period, and especially after its implementation, starting with 25 May 2018, mechanisms have been explored and still are being explored aimed at ensuring that a reasonable balance is struck between the need to respect the rights of European citizens, called dat...

It may be said that cinematography is the first new form of art in the industrial age. At the beginning, it was not included among the defined forms with the accepted notion (at that time) of „art”, considering that it did not fulfill many of the „sacred” attributes of art and was outside the romantic vision of the artistic creation, a vision according to which an art work is characterized by authenticity and unrepeatability, being a unique c...
