An Essay\u00bb, the legal scholar explores the relationship between legal methods and judicial creativity in today\u2019s German legal system. He offers many criticisms of Germany\u2019s higher courts, including the Constitutional Court, which in his view all lean toward modern forms of free law (Freirecht). R\u00fcthers finds that the causes for this are the courts\u2019 inattention to the distinction between ius conditum and ius condendum, their methodological eclectism, and the prevalence of so-called \u2018objective modes\u2019 of interpretation. His arguments are a general invitation to legal scholars to reflect more broadly on the persistent validity of a positivist approach based on the ideal of legislative supremacy and, to this Italian reviewer, a particular call to Italian scholars to reflect on the state of things in the Italian legal system. This reviewer advances on R\u00fcthers\u2019 analysis and concludes that in today\u2019s complex legal environment a positivist approach can be adequately justified in terms of efficiency, namely in the capacity of a legal system to competently combine a high degree of legal certainty with the intrinsic dynamism of legal interpretation. But the reviewer also suggests that this would require, at least in Italy, a comprehensive reconsideration of the role of the legal community in general and of the work legal scholars in particular.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; In Bernd R\u00fcthers\u2019 latest book \u00abThe Silent Revolution from the Rule of Law to the Rule of Judges: Legal Methods and the Constitution.
