Full Description

The volume offers knowledge and analytical tools to students and researchers, but also to lawyers and practitioners as it collects in a single volume important portions of jurisprudence distilled from what are often lengthy and detailed judgments, followed by a reflection on the legal issues arising in a specific case or common to a number of them.
