In tema di interpretazione casistica e scienza del diritto

The work constitutes a tribute to Professor Vacca, to her significant and prestigious scientific production, but also to the fundamental contribution offered to the legal community, also in carrying out important institutional tasks. The article concerns some works in which Vacca - starting from his valuable works on jurisprudence, on case method and on precedents - has proposed some interpretative lines of great interest and importance not only for their intrinsic value, but also as they are linked to issues of great importance for the current dimension of law. These are, in particular, reflections on the important and now decisive role assumed by interpreters within the multilevel legal system, on the crisis of law, due among other things to the separation between science and practice, and, finally, on analysis of the casuistic and prudential method of Roman jurisprudence as a model of science founded on the inseparable synthesis between the theoretical elaboration and the practical application of legal rules.
