Întrebarea pe care ne-o punem cu toții este cum să construim o societate a bunăstării, în care să domnească cel puțin o bună înțelegere și toleranța, o societate non-agresivă, dacă o societate consensuală nu este posibilă. Răspunsul ar putea fi preferința pentru dialog; deci este necesară crearea de instituții și proceduri care prin mijloace juridice să asigure consolidarea democrației. Revizuirea Constituției este o importantă pârghie pentru a se atinge acest scop. Buna guvernare și consolidarea statului de drept se pot obține prin amplificarea rolului dreptului în sistemul politic statal, astfel încât democrația și o participare publică reală la formularea și adoptarea actelor normative secundare și chiar terțiare să fie consacrate prin norme juridice constituționale. -
Este în afara oricărei îndoieli că tradiționala clasificare a constituțiilor în constituții rigide și în constituții suple rămâne o teză unanim admisă de către constituționaliști. Cei care critică această clasificare o fac fie din ignoranță (și aici replicile sunt inutile), fie din motive pur electorale, mai mult sau mai puțin motivate. Pentru liniștea sufletească a acestora din urmă, trebuie să se observe că doctrina constituțională explică foarte clar faptul că rigiditatea unei constituții nu se opune revizuirii sale. Rigiditatea constituțională este de fapt un procedeu tehnic (constituțional) care se legitimează prin stabilitatea în timp a constituției, ca trăsătură definitorie a acesteia. Iar stabilitatea constituției se fondează, la rândul său, pe realitatea că o constituție este o reformă, este cea mai complexă reformă, a cărei exprimare cere timp și, de ce să nu o spunem, răbdare.

Criminal regulations are lacunary as regards the punishment of the actions of some persons to determine, by corruption or by other means, ordered assassinations or other serious offences, although their activity is extremely dangerous, taking into account the fact that, sometimes, the victims escape only owing to the benevolence of those instigated, which, in some cases, even denounce the instigators.

This paper presents the experience of Romania, one of the new Member States which joined the EU in 2007, with regard to the transposition into national system of the European directives as a means to illustrate the dynamics of the relationship between the European Union and the Member States.

The penal clause originates in the principle of contractual freedom. According to this principle, the parties are free to conclude any contracts and to determine their contents, within the limits imposed by the law, the public order and the morality (Article 1169 of the new Civil Code). This study examines the penal clause from a historical perspective, starting from the Roman law, continuing with the French canon law, the Civil Code of 1864, and then reaching to the new Civil Code, as well as the definition of the penal clause, the object, the advantages and the disadvantages of including the penal clause into contracts. The study also makes an analysis of the penal clause in comparison to other institutions of civil law, by emphasizing the similarities and the differences.

One of the constant elements of the civil procedural institutions is the classification of the nullities of the civil procedure acts into two categories: absolute nullities and relative nullities. This dichotomy involves an essentially different legal treatment applicable to them. However, in many situations, nullities of the civil procedural acts depart, in some aspects, from the „classic” rules involved by this classification. The author of this study refers to such nullities as „atypical nullities”.

This study focuses on the analysis of a rule of incrimination included in Article 190 of the new Criminal Code of Romania and entitled „killing at the victim’s request”. Naturally, the monographic research of this rule is set within the broader framework of the phenomenon of euthanasia, a phenomenon often subject to heated controversies in the criminal legal doctrine and that receives differentiated approaches brought by the multidisciplinary perspective they generate.

The Labour Code (Law No 53/2003) was radically amended by the Law No 40/2011. One of the amendments and supplements brought to the Code was the rephrasing of Article 31, respectively, in addition to the trial period, it was regulated, only for the graduates of higher education institutions, a probation period (of 6 months) at the beginning of activity in their profession, with an additional specification that the modality of performing the probation period would be established by a special law. In this respect Law No 335/2013 on performing the probation period for higher education graduates has been recently adopted in order to regulate the probation contract. In this study the author makes an analysis – partly critical – of this last-mentioned law.
