Reading Tips

READING TIPS

The reading advice on this page is intended to facilitate preparation for a year or semester. Most of the selected works are deliberately succinct and thus constitute a simple and quick way to approach law and its disciplines. The online sites indicated can also be usefully consulted. They constitute in all cases a useful starting point: whether you do not know how to begin (there is a beginning to everything), whether you are lost in the meanders of abundant publications (relatively common), or whether we come up against an apparent void on an “unidentified doctrinal object” (a little rarer, it must be admitted).
