The work deals with the issues of framework for shaping family relations. The Slovenian amending act of 2004 established an important framework for the autonomy of the individual in family law. It significantly opened the possibility of concluding agreements in the sphere of maintenance, upbringing and care of children and children's contacts. From the point of view of a modern arrangement, it is disturbing that the amending act of 2004 understood concluding agreements in relation to children as an obligation of parents rather than an opportunity for realising parental ideas on the upbringing and care of children and so a mandatory procedure of reaching agreement in front of the social security services is prescribed before the enforcement of judicial protection. The work is an important source of legal terminology especially in the field of family law and, written by the Slovenian professor, represents an important terminological bridge between the two legal languages.

The work focuses on similarities, common ground, areas of divergence and interaction between Kelsen and Pitamic regarding their understanding of the nature of law. The author outlines Kelsen's theory of law and Pitamic's response to it. He deals also with the economy of thought as one of the pillars of pure theory of law. An issue of basic norm is a point where Kelsen and Pitamic favour different views. An important focus of the work is on the conclusion that the two conceptions of law of Kelsen and Pitamic are not mutually exclusive, but rather complementary.

The work describes the social security regime in Slovenia. It conveys a clear working knowledge of the legal mechanics affecting health care, employment injuries and occupational diseases, incapacity to work, pensions, survivor's benefits, unemployment benefits and services and family benefits. The book is a valuable resource for studying the functioning of social security law and policy in Slovenia. It is of special interest as a contribution to the comparative study of social security systems. From terminological point of view the work may serve as a useful tool to identify corresponding foreign legal concepts in Slovenian system and deepen their understanding.

This paper revisits the delicate relation between law and language, with language inevitable serving as the vehicle of legal deliberations and pronouncements, and in particular their seemingly irreconcilable qualities: while law is predicated on the concept of the rule of law (or Rechtsstaat) which in turn calls for a clear and predictable system of norms ensuring equal treatment, language is often indeterminate or ambiguous, the meaning of words unclear or uncertain. Is language even properly equipped to perform the role asked of it by law? This question is addressed by outlining and analysing the path traversed from the open-ended vagueness of linguistic terms to the uncompromising confines of their legal interpretation, both in the course of adopting legislation and in particular in the course of adopting judicial pronouncements on the meaning of linguistic terms employed.
