With Silvia Ferreri, Professor of Comparative Law (Un. Torino)

Silvia Ferreri explains the traps that her civil law students meet with when studying Common Law decisions in particular. On the one hand, they find the style of the English judge perplexing (irony, literary references, colloquialisms). On the other, self-evident phrases should not be taken for granted too much as they can also be “false friends”. She discusses examples from her recent book (Falsi Amici Nelle Corti).
