The law is the technique for the rational use of authority, while the technique of the law lies in the rationality of statute law and of case law. The quality of the legislative process and of the judicial process envisages the ethical intensity of the law: the ethics of the law lies in its techniques. The faults in legislative and judicial techniques explain Italian law’s ethical weakness. The irrational use of authority is not law, but is in fact no more than the wielding of strength PB - FrancoAngeli ER -
