Sciopero dei magistrati e costituzioni: L’esperienza italiana in prospettiva comparata

The lawfulness of judicial strikes represents a “vexata quaestio” of Italian public law that has increasingly come into focus also within comparative public scholarship. The present study offers for the first time a comparison between the discussion over the constitutionality of judicial strikes in Italy— from the dispute in the Constituent Assembly to the ensuing heated controversy — and corresponding debates in other legal systems, thus highlighting the striking convergence in some argumentative lines while reaffirming the conspicuous uniqueness of the Italian experience.
