Abstract

The article concerns the approval by the Constitutional Court of new supplementary rules for judgments before the Court. These are rules that have attracted the attention of scholars especially with reference to the introduction of the amicus curiae institute into our legal system. Other changes were introduced by the recent reform. In particular, it concerned the regulation of intervention in the constitutional judgment and also provided for the possibility of summoning experts of clear reputation before the Court in order to obtain “information pertaining to specific disciplinesµ (art. 14-bis, Supplementary Rules). Both in relation to the institution indicated above, and with regard to the amicus curiae, scholars have raised several doubts that appear to be largely shared.
