The Myth of French Influence Over Spanish Codification: The General Part of the Criminal Codes of 1822 and 1848
2018
The chapter aims to explore the scope of the foreign influences, that of the French in particular, in the criminal codes of 1822 and 1848/50. In doing so, the author departs from the views of some 19th century criminal lawyers who, like J. F. Pacheco, stated that in the old criminal laws “nothing was worthy of respect, or conservation” and “there was only one legitimate and viable system, the system of codification, the system of absolute change,” and recognizing that drafters were fully acquainted with the case of France, a jurisdiction that managed to turn its old laws—including the criminal ones—into modern codes (1804–1811). The author briefly presents the status quaestionis of the dich…
Forced monachizations, judicial strategies and noble logic: Sister Anna Maddalena Valdina
2017
In 1640 Anna, the daughter of the prince of Valdina, was forced to live in a convent (for patrimonial reasons) in Palermo along with three sisters. She was seven years old and remained there until 1699. First she asked her father and then her brother to leave the monastic life that she never accepted. Her story is inscribed within the phenomenon of the so-called "forced monachizations ", to which the Council of Trent had tried to remedy for. After the death of her brother, in 1693, now about sixty years old Anna asked the archbishop of Palermo to nullify his religious profession and to return to the lay state. Thus begins a very severe judicial dispute that triggers a violent jurisdictional…
Gaps in International Biodiversity Law and Possible Ways Forward
2021
Building on the report on gaps in international environmental law prepared in 2018 by the UN Secretary-General, this chapter focuses on the existing gaps in international biodiversity law and explores possible ways forward to a more effective and integrated legal regime. The analysis indicates the existence of structural, regulatory and implementation gaps that seriously undermine the efficiency of the regime. The chapter explores the possibility of building a more integrated international legal regime for biodiversity protection by analysing three possible avenues: greater integration between existing conventions, the conclusion of new conventions (such as the impending agreement on marine…

Incentives, criminal defence lawyers and plea bargaining
2008
Plea bargaining has become a central feature of criminal procedure in Anglo-Saxon jurisdictions. This paper explores an area seldom discussed in the economic literature on plea bargaining: the influence of the defence lawyer's fee contract on the terms of the bargain. In particular, it uses data from one jurisdiction of the impact on case trajectories of changes in publicly funded defence lawyers’ contracts to test the proposition that the nature of the lawyer's contract influences how cases are managed. An event study methodology on a pooled time-series cross-section data set of case trajectories before and after the change in the nature of the contract is used to examine whether the new p…
Professionals and consumer in the liquid society: From status to states, or from Diocletian to Bauman
2020
The essay critically analyses the consolidated orientation of the Court of Cassation according to which the consumer legislation is not applicable to professionals who make a contract for the purchase of goods and services that they will use to work. For example, lawyers do not only stipulate mandates or make consultancy contracts with their clients, but also make all the contracts that are necessary or useful for the fulfillment of their professional practice; these acts may include the purchase of legal texts and professional indemnity insurance, or the supply of cleaning, electricity, gas and telephone services for their legal firms.

Riflessioni sul giudizio di parificazione dei rendiconti regionali
2020
The Italian Court of Auditors (“Corte dei conti”) has jurisdiction and authority to the equalization judgement (“giudizio di parificazione”) of fiscal statements of Italian Regions, which appears as an exam on the legitimacy/rightness of the ways applied by the regional administrations in the construction of their general audit reports taking into consideration the comparison with those decisions assumed in the budget and the adjustments pursuant to the applicable fiscal rules. Therefore, the equalization judgement consists in a check of correspondence, that is to say in the assessment of the variances that, considering the equilibria set forth in the budget, emerge from the final reports, …
