A rational transplant includes what Kalman Kulcsar identified as the one society’s “continuous social change by utilizing its own, internal conditions” – recaptured as a compulsory linkage with the legal traditions- and, at the same time, postulating a social and legal change through external factors. In this context, Romanian society would not be weak because it appeals to external sources of inspiration. It would be weak only in not correctly handling the legal transplant. Conversely, Romanian society woul…
