En las estanterías de cualquier estudiante de derecho, se amon-
tonan libros cuyos lomos parecen susurrar una promesa de sabiduría
innita. Sin embargo, al abrirlos, lo que se despliega ante los ojos es, en
la inmensa mayoría de los casos, un laberinto de palabras enrevesa-
das, conceptos que se enredan como hiedra vieja, y frases que pare-
cen desaar las leyes de la claridad.
Se diría que estos textos fueron escritos no con la intención de
iluminar, sino de confundir, como si el conocimiento jurídico debiera
ser un privilegio reservado a aquellos lo sucientemente obstinados
para descifrarlo.
En mi opinión, la inmensa mayoría de los libros que conforman el
corpus académico del derecho adolecen de una desconexión palpa-
ble con la realidad práctica.
Escritos en un lenguaje críptico y adornados con citas intermina-
bles de autores que se citan entre sí en un círculo casi hermético, es-
tos textos no parecen destinados a formar juristas competentes, sino
a consolidar la idea de que el derecho es una ciencia reservada a unos
pocos “elegidos”.
La experiencia de leerlos a menudo resulta frustrante: parágrafos
extensos que cuesta descifrar y teorías abstractas que parecen evapo-
rarse al enfrentarse con la realidad del tribunal. Una erudición que, en
lugar de construir puentes, levanta muros.
