Rather, after intelligent discernment, one is encouraged to come to one’s own conclusions regarding the various theses portrayed. What should however be self-evident to the judicious reader is that one should discover the existence of a fil rouge running throughout the assorted topics included, showing that the true rasion d’etres behind these contributions actually portrays the strength of the legal values with which the author is imbued.
