NUNEZ VAQUERO, Álvaro. On rules and the use of precedents: side comments on the works of Fabio and Silvia Zorzetto. Probl. anu. filos. teor. derecho [online]. 2022, n.16, pp.155-189.  Epub 21-Mar-2023. ISSN 2448-7937.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24487937e.2022.16.17034.

It filled me with pleasure to be asked by Problema editor-in-chief Sandra Gómora Juárez to lead a discussion on the theories and doctrine on precedent in our context alongside Prof. Marina Gascón Abellán. Besides the undeniable and recognized prestige of the Problema journal, there was also the possibility of working with Prof. Marina Gascón again and with Sandra Gómora for the first time. It was also an opportunity to discuss issues regarding precedent with old friends like Flavia Carbonell, Fabio Pulido and Silvia Zorzetto, and exchange opinions with new ones like Rodrigo Camarena.

On this occasion, I would like to comment specifically on the works of Prof. Fabio Pulido Ortiz and Prof. Silvia Zorzetto, both of which are of unquestionable quality. The article by Prof. Pulido Ortiz of the Universidad de la Sabana in Colombia is a work of analytical finesse and subtlety that discusses some fundamental problems of legal theory from the standpoint of the theory of precedent. Prof. Silvia Zorzetto from Université Statale di Milano has conducted an analytical and meta-linguistic survey of the use of precedents in Italy, particularly at the Italian Sezioni Unite Civili della Corte di Cassazione. This work is priceless not only in terms of its value as a study of (internal) Italian legal culture, but also because the analysis can be generalized, at least in part, to explain how precedents are used in civil law systems.

Palavras-chave : Rule of Precedent; Theory of Precedent; Doctrine of Precedent; Constitutive Norms; Trivalence of Precedent.
