In the last years the Constitutional Court of Romania was asked to rule on the constitutionality of the erga omnes obligatory interpretations provided by the High Court of Cassation and Justice. Through such constitutionality review, the Constitutional Court manages to impose its own interpretation of the European Convention on Human Rights on all national ordinary courts whenever such courts are to ensure that the European Convention of Human Rights is observed and respected in a pending case. This paper sumarises a couple of such rulings, pointing out that through such constitutionality review rulings, the Constitutional Court of Romania has also established that it has the competence to impose, at the national level, the unique interpretation that can be given to a norm whenever that unique interpretation was already imposed by the High Court of Cassation and Justice.

In a liberal democracy, the sphere of law cannot be unlimited. The first category of its limits results from the necessity to temper the mutability of the legal system. Firstly, the law must not be perishable. The passage of time should not, in itself, affect the legal system. Thus, the law must limit the desire for change only for the sake of change and the desire to turn regulations into a performance. The limitation of such tendencies is not legally effective under any circumstances, meaning that the choice of regulatory methods must take into account formal principles and the context of their application as well. Secondly, law cannot be receptive to all changes. It must shift only under certain circumstances, commensurate with the magnitude of social changes. Any social conflict, change of ideological orientation, or political, economic or structural modification should not determine modifications with respect to the legal order. Thirdly, the mutability of the legal system may be determined by systemic dysfunctions. However, any structural conflict within the legal order should not bring about systemic changes. Basically, only certain dysfunctions can be classified as systemic, and the reaction towards them should be limited to drawing up structural modifications.

In this study, we aim to analyze the main characteristics of the proportionality test reflected through the jurisprudence of the constitutional courts in Romania and France. The identification of these elements aims at establishing three coordinates: the common elements of the evolution of the proportionality test, the way of systematization of the current constitutionality control over proportionality and the evolutional perspectives in the proportionality test. The determination of jurisprudential variations has the role of marking the common points, the divergent ones, and the aspects of complementarity from the constitutional perspective, respectively. We also consider specific issues regarding the jurisprudence of the European courts, as well as how it interferes with the proportionality tests of the two constitutional courts. Also, the option for the two institutions is justified by the fact that they have common elements and a tangential evolution, aspects that can be captured more clearly from the analysis of the principle of proportionality, given that it is a generally accepted concept, but nuanced in practical terms.

The article aims to generate a preliminary radiography on the actual stage of digitalization of justice in Romania, offering a perspective on its evolution both domestically and internationally, a development forced, at least in appearance, by the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions imposed by it. The electronic file, the usual use of electronic signatures in trials, as well as the multitude of information provided in the virtual environment by public judicial institutions are some essential aspects that define the beginnings of this deeply restructuring process. The most important question, on which no rigorous analysis has been carried out so far, remains the following: how does this process impact the constitutional rights of citizens? In the chase after the alignment to the European approaches, to the evolution and speed of the digital age in which we live, we lose sight of the fact that the Romanian citizens may not be prepared for this process. The human component fades in front of the benefits of artificial intelligence, adaptation at any cost is required by society, and indirectly, by the state, without providing the necessary resources in this regard. We propose a necessary reading from the perspective of affecting some rights guaranteed by the Constitution through digitization, aspects worthy of consideration.

This article examines the importance of statistical analysis in comprehending the development and consequences of preliminary references within the Court of Justice of the European Union. This study examines the distribution of preliminary references from 2018 to 2022, focusing on trends, legal domains, and the participation of Member States. The results underscore the growing dependence on the Court of Justice of the European Union for the elucidation and implementation of European Union legislation. These references encompass a wide range of topics, including fundamental rights, policy domains, economic harmonization, and social measures. The analysis aims to identify emerging trends and challenges, with a particular focus on the significance of harmonizing legal interpretations and achieving uniformity among Member States. Statistical analysis is an indispensable tool for policymakers and legal practitioners, as it offers valuable insights that facilitate informed decision-making, policy formulation, and the ongoing enhancement of the legal framework within the European Union. Through the augmentation of legal certainty and coherence, the European Union has the potential to foster a more unified and lucid legal framework, thereby bolstering the overall cohesion and integrity of the European Union

During the pandemic, Brazil and Romania faced different problems regarding public authorities. While in Brazil there was an absence of a strong coordination against virus spread by the executive, because of the presidential denialism, in Romania there was the declaration of the state of emergency and, after that, the state of alert, imposing restrictions on the exercise of rights and freedoms. However, both countries shared the fact that human rights were under threat, either for action or for omission in that period. Therefore, the analysis of both courts in that context is crucial to understanding the protection of human rights in these jurisdictions.
