Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] The paper examines the passages related to the judge's gnome in the Attic oratory. This gnome, connected with the inadequacy of the law, seems to constitute a precious instrument of interpretation of the law, without disputing the wisdom of the legislator and the goodness of the positive law. The strong presence of the theme in Demosthenes, a critic "From within" democratic institutions, suggests that in the too mechanical application of the laws he had identified one of the many limitations of the system, which risked preventing implementation of true justice.
