12/03/2009 JUSTICE. Goodbye, expensive fees and drawn-out proceedings. Here’s the franchised storefront lawyer.

The death foretold of which I speak is not, as in the celebrated novel, that of a person, but rather, the death of a concept, i.e., the concept of negozio giuridico. (...) It cannot therefore be surprising that the negozio giuridico, dead in the legal jargon, becomes reincarnated in common language. A friend who teaches in Genoa received the following leaflet...
