Publicistica juridică românească: tradiții, starea actuală și revirimentul așteptat
Romanian juridical journalism: traditions, current state and expected recovery

Summary/Abstract: The 150th anniversary from the issue of „Dreptul” magazine, edited by Societatea Juridică (1871), the first representative publication, with a „programme” in the matter, represents the occasion to review the evolution of the juridical literature as vector of the science and culture of law in Romania, to capture its current state and to prefigure the perspectives of development. The juridical press has emerged and developed in our country as a tool for promoting knowledge of law, through the dissemination of the case law, the affirmation of the doctrine and of the dialogue of ideas. After an initial period marked by the spirit of imitation related to the massive legislative import that characterized the establishment of the foundations of the Romanian juridical modernity after 1859, the interwar juridical unification (judicial, constitutional-legislative, at the level of the regime of juridical professions and of the juridical higher education) favoured the transition to its own literature in the field and a national juridical culture with strong original and identity accents. Marked by a certain eclipse and by a perspective „planned” between 1949–1989, it experienced a strong recovery after 1990 by resuming its issue in new editions, along with Dreptul, and of the other two landmarks genre: Curierul Judiciar (founded in 1892) and Pandectele Române (since 1921) and the issue of new ones, currently facing the low tide and the unexpected challenges of the accelerated digitalization and neoliberal globalization.
