A new Justice

Separation of powers, redefinition of the self-governance of the judiciary, creation of a High Disciplinary Court. What is at stake in the constitutional reform? Carlo Nordio's book represents the concluding chapter of a long journey that began almost thirty years ago with the publication, in 1997, of the volume Justice.

Starting from the structural weaknesses that already marked our judicial system at that time, Nordio reconstructs the inconsistencies that, in his opinion, have accompanied the introduction of the Vassalli code and its difficult coexistence with a Constitution modeled on a completely different structure. A surprising picture emerges, in which normative contradictions, unified careers, and factional logics have progressively undermined citizens' trust in the impartiality of the judge and the neutrality of the prosecution.
