U Zborniku Pravnog fakulteta u Zagrebu, Vol. 74 No. 3, 2024., objavljen je Burazinov kritički osvrt na knjigu istaknutoga suvremenog njemačkog pravnog filozofa Norberta Hoerstera, Što je pravo? Temeljna pitanja filozofije prava, Naklada Breza, 2024.
There is something quite puzzling about the global conversation on jurisprudence. On the one hand, jurisprudence is supposed to deal with abstract questions concerning the nature, structure, and distinctive features of the law. These questions are not tightly associated with, or dependent on, the particular legal practices in one jurisdiction or another. But, on the other hand, it seems that jurisprudents are tacitly affected by their background institutional context: there is an evident divide between theorizing about the law in the civil law world and in the common law world.
Jurisprudence in the Mirror: The Common Law World Meets theCivil Law World systematically presents the major achievements of contemporary civil law jurisprudence to the common law world and bridges the gap in analytic jurisprudence as it is currently practiced in the two traditions. The volume seeks to bring different voices to the table and overcome the cultural and linguistic divides that have created barriers in philosophical exchanges. The book’s structure is dialogical: it includes twelve essays written by prominent and influential jurisprudents from the civil law world, each followed by a response by a jurisprudent from the common law world. This approach highlights what the two worlds share, where they part ways, and why. The varied contributions reveal how their respective legal traditions shape fundamental legal concepts and jurisprudential debates and will be invaluable to readers from both the civil and common law worlds.

Objavljeni su članci dvoje članova Zagrebačke grupe za teoriju prava, rad Marka Ćušića “Kriteriji vrednovanja prava u udžbeniku D. Hrabar et al., Obiteljsko pravo, Narodne novine, Zagreb, 2021.” (Zagrebačka pravna revija, Vol. 13, No. 1, 2024.) i rad Ane Žagar “Upotreba tradicionalnih pravnih argumenata za opravdanje tumačenja i primjene članka 8. Europske konvencije za zaštitu ljudskih prava i temeljnih sloboda u praksi Europskog suda za ljudska prava” (Zagrebačka pravna revija, Vol. 13, No. 1, 2024.).
U radu Marka Ćušića raspravlja se o upotrebi kriterija vrednovanja pozitivnopravnog uređenja obiteljskih odnosa u udžbeniku D. Hrabar et al., Obiteljsko pravo, Narodne novine, Zagreb, 2021. Prvi dio rada opisuje istraživački problem, navode se ciljevi istraživanja, detaljno se opisuje korištena metoda kvalitativne analize sadržaja te se razrađuju teme, kategorije i potkategorije. U drugome se dijelu utvrđuje koji su kriteriji vrednovanja korišteni u udžbeniku, koja je učestalost njihova korištenja te jesu li izričito određeni u predmetnom udžbeniku. Zatim, utvrđuje se koji je omjer korištenih pravnih i izvanpravnih kriterija te u kojem omjeru ocjenu (vrednovanje) prava slijedi preporučivanje boljeg prava. U zaključku se raspravlja o rezultatima istraživanja te o važnosti provedenog istraživanja na području metodologije pravne znanosti.
Rad Ane Žagar tumačenje Europske konvencije za zaštitu ljudskih prava i temeljnih sloboda od strane Europskog suda za ljudska prava prikazuje posve različito od sve proučene literature. Umjesto izdvajanja u praksi Suda razvijenih specifičnih tumačenjskih doktrina pokazuje se da Sud koristi i tradicionalne tumačenjske argumente, kako ih je popisao Giovanni Tarello. Dokazivanjem da Sud u tumačenju i primjeni Konvencije rabi argumente s dugom povijesti upotrebe, koje rabe i domaći sudovi prilikom tumačenja i primjene nacionalnih propisa, cilj je obeshrabriti ideje o proizvoljnosti tumačenja Suda u Strasbourgu i poboljšati njihovo razumijevanje na nacionalnoj razini. Metoda rada jest kvalitativna analiza sadržaja, a presude su odabrane kombinacijom namjernog i slučajnog uzorkovanja.
