Lecture summary:

The author performed an analysis of the court practice of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Slovenia on the use and understanding of the notion of the rule of law. He reviewed all decisions and separate opinions in which the court utilizes this notion. He treats the rule of law as a notion with a potentially unlimited semantic range. He ascertained the content of the wording, as stated by the court with its interpretation and connected it with constitutional bases. Inspired by Fuller and Cormacain, he formulated the eight desired qualities of the Slovenian legal system as they stem from the constitutional court practice.

Nova knjiga: R. Guastini, Tumačenje i argumentacija, Naklada Breza, 2023.

U izdanju Naklade Breza objavljena je knjiga Riccardo Guastini, Tumačenje i argumentacija, Zagreb, 2023. Knjigu je s talijanskoga jezika preveo izv. prof. dr. sc. Luka Burazin.

U ovoj se knjizi na sustavan način raspravlja o tumačenju i argumentaciji u području prava. Knjiga je podijeljena u pet dijelova. Prvi dio posvećen je različitim oblicima neodređenosti normativnih dokumenata i tumačenjskoj diskreciji koja iz njih proizlazi. U drugom dijelu autor istražuje raznolikost pravostvarajućih radnji pravnih znanstvenika i sudaca: rješavanje antinomija, popunjavanje praznina, konstruiranje neizraženih normi, konkretiziranje i ponderiranje načela. U trećem dijelu analiziraju se različite vrste rasuđivanja u primjeni prava, a posebno argumentacija tumačenjskih odluka. U četvrtom dijelu autor se bavi tumačenjem ustavnih dokumenata. I na koncu, u petom dijelu, raspravlja se o različitim, u doktrini raširenim opisujućim i normativnim shvaćanjima tumačenja.

Knjigu je moguće kupiti u knjižari Pravnog fakulteta u Zagrebu, Školskoj knjizi, Superknjižari, knjižari Ljevak, knjižari Dominović te online knjižari Naklade Breza (https://naklada-breza.hr/).
