I am a lawyer with thirty years of experience, in my first professional life I was a journalist. But in my every life I am most attracted to curiosity, discovering new lands, and secondly - convincing people to do what is wise, good or beautiful. I will also let myself be convinced of these three things.
For several months in Rzeczpospolita I have been discussing the judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union on the issue of discrimination in employment. At this point, I do not mean the content of the judgments themselves, the court’s thinking about its place and meaning, but I would say simple technological and practical solutions related to these judgments.

It is about a rather strange judgement, which concerns a Polish employer. Sometimes the courts – not only the big ones, but also the smaller ones – have to assume the burden of explaining a regulation that is apparently obvious in its message and purpose.

I’ll say what I think, maybe someone will understand me. Well, I think most of the law books are completely worthless. First of all – no one reads legal books when you read ordinary books, because they are not for that. Well, that’s ok. Secondly, if I am looking for a view that I want to convince the court of, I am still looking for jurisprudence, not views, because it is extremely poor with professional authorities.

I write about the courts without reluctance, but with care and faith. A private lawyer will not be valid unless the courts are valid. Several solutions in this regard seem to be absolutely necessary and obvious here. It is worth talking about it today, when their implementation is impossible. Important things come from open thinking, and it’s never too early to think.

That interesting primarily for football fans, but it also has a second, quite deep bottom for those who are simply interested in the sense of global legal solutions. Well, the Swiss Ministry of Justice has informed two football headquarters, #UEFA and #FIFA, that they do not have the right to impose sanctions on clubs that have attempted to change the system of football games, known as the Superliga.

A good friend of mine once worked as an inhouse in a large, privatized company that had been in a corporate power struggle for months. After each subsequent edition of such a dispute, whether after a shareholders’ meeting, or after a lawsuit for nullity of everything in general, and a separate friend of mine, a competent lawyer with extensive experience, she had only one task: to stick, as soon as possible, five opinions most well-known commercial law lawyers who used to be in Warsaw. Before the other side concludes these opinions.

I would like to say something smart about the francs, but I am not able to. Especially when Ewa Łętowska and Leszek Balcerowicz faced each other in the dispute, i.e. two people so important that I would not mention few more important for the shape of my social thinking. In general, for all of me as I am. The difference between leftist and liberal thinking is just as irreconcilable as between liberal and conservative thinking.

Take a look at your home libraries and think about who you would be if you read all the books you have on the shelves. And yet – as you probably know – there are still many, many more of these books. This somewhat inspiring, somewhat depressing reflection has been with me since childhood. Now I am transferring it to my profession, i.e. to the profession of a lawyer.

In the previous section of my considerations (which can be called socio-legal), I argued that the legal culture of individual societies should be judged on the basis of the extent to which the law is respected for fear of punishment and responsibility, and to what extent – from the conviction that this law serves benefit all of us.
