La morte medicalmente assistita tra regolamentazioni nazionali europee e prospettive legislative italiane
2021
The essay focuses on the different legislative rules which allow seriously ill patients to legally receive euthanasia or assisted suicide in Europe to examine the Italian legislation currently being approved on the same matter from a comparative legal perspective. The research about such an ethical theme involving several fundamental principles, like human dignity, life and solidarity, analyses the approaches of the Belgian, Dutch, Luxembourg and Spanish legal systems. The study will shed light on the essentiality of some preventive safeguards to support patients��� autonomy in consenting or refusing an end-of-life treatment, in line with the Italian Constitutional Court suggestions.

Path Dependence and Paradox in Harmonizing Out-of-court Procedures across Europe. The Evidence from Italy
2018
This paper focuses on the impact that the ‘new approach to business failure’ has had on Italian out-of-court procedures. It will demonstrate that in 2005 Italian law started to embrace the rescue culture of out-of-court procedures by means of a series of reforms; initially, this movement facilitated the incorporation of the ‘new approach to business failure’, but – and this is the paradox – the more law makers and courts remove the old paradigms and introduce new ones, which in principle could make the procedures smoother, cheaper and more efficient, the more the law in the book and the law in action appear to be overloaded with additional prerequisites which make the procedures cumbersome…
A short Introduction to the Italian Legal System. Vol. I - Historical Background and Modern Legal Thought
2014
This book is the first in a series of volumes describing the Italian legal system. The plan of the work involves separate volumes dedicated to the “Italian style” and to the sources of the law, the analysis and description of the fundamental elements of the system, and the critical exposure of specific institutes of private law. The choice to use, for all the work, the English language with a simple and plain presentation of subjects, is justified by the desire to disseminate this work to the Italian and especially foreign students of the new university courses in cooperation and development, international relations, economic and political sciences as well as law courses. With this first op…
Adolescent Brain Development and Progressive Legal Responsibility in the Latin American Context
2020
In this article, we analyze the contributions of neuroscience to the development of the adolescent brain and shed additional light on the minimum age of criminal responsibility in the context of Latin America. In neurobiology, maturity is perceived to be complex because the brain’s temporal development process is not uniform across all its regions. This has important consequences for adolescents’ behavior; in their search for the acceptance of their peers, they are more vulnerable to pressure and more sensitive to stress than adults. Their affectivity is more unstable, and they show signs of low tolerance to frustration and important emotional reactivity, with a decrease in the capacity to …
El Derecho Fundamental de Acceso a la Justicia de los Consumidores
2018
El acceso a la justicia es hoy en día un Derecho fundamental reconocido en la Constitución española en el artículo 24 a través del Derecho a la tutela judicial efectiva, así como el derecho a la asistencia justicia gratuita para aquellos que acrediten insuficiencia de recursos para litigar de acuerdo con el artículo 119 de la Constitución española. Sin embargo, estos derechos se desdibujan cuando intentamos reivindicar los derechos de los consumidores. En este trabajo analizamos cómo Cappelletti teorizó, a través de su obra General Report Access to justice, las tres olas básicas para conseguir derribar las barreras que impiden el acceso a la justicia. Esta teoría refleja los pasos seguidos …

2020
El Profesor García Roca, Catedrático de Derecho Constitucional en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, nos ofrece un nuevo trabajo monográfico sobre el CEDH que le confirman como uno de los máximos expertos en nuestro país sobre el texto convencional del Consejo de Europa y, más ampliamente, de Derecho Constitucional Europeo. En efecto, en esta ocasión, «la transformación constitucional» del CEDH nos brinda un valioso material de consulta para el ámbito académico y para el terreno de la praxis jurídica, erigiéndose la obra en un exponente de lo que podríamos denominar (parafraseando la idea de jurisprudencia o interpretación «evolutiva» del TEDH) «doctrina constitucional evolutiva» sobre e…
