This article has been inspired from the Paolo Grossi's collection of essays entitled "L'invenzione del diritto" (the invenction of the law). It aims to consider some central issue - the nature of contemporary constitutionalism, the nature of the law, the role of the jurist - and reveal the "republican jurist" as the most suitable for a constitutional order which is not consinsent anymore with the rule of law as in the past.
