CHIEF JUSTICE MILTON RAY GUEVARA ON ITALY’S CONTRIBUTIONS TO DOMINICAN CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
Summarizing this important presentation by the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court of the Domin-
ican Republic, we should underscore his great admiration for Italian constitutional doctrine, which was the
original and the most important in the beginnings of Western constitutionalism; the significance of the Consti-
tution of 1948; and the great influence they have had on modern constitutionalism, in addition to his praise for
a number of Italian academics cited in his work, whose contributions to the subject have been of momentous
importance.
It seems to us that this contribution should be more widely disseminated and, due to its importance, be
analyzed in the law schools of our universities, especially in the matters of constitutional law and legal history.
It provides invaluable information and opinions that should be more widely known by Dominican professors,
students, judges, and the shapers of legal doctrine.
Zoagli.
