What is going to be left of a legal scholar, asks Franciszek Longchamps de Berier. His answer is sad. Nevertheless, I note that he has a reason for satisfaction: he has noticed that on the columns surrounding the Palace of Justice in Warsaw a sentence: 'Audiatur et altera pars' is missing. In my opinion: not by an accident. And I consider this observation to be the accomplishment of this prominent Romanist. I also add that a legal scholar can achieve immortality if, for instance, he gets away from his incunabula, monographs or other books and goes to look at the inscriptions on the columns of buildings. I supplement these short considerations with the descriptions of concepts, projects and suggestions that would have never dawned on me in the reading room. Meanwhile, they did when I was on a Bulgarian bus, on a country road, in the shelter for homeless pregnant women, as well as in other places. It is only in relation to one of these that I do not exclude the possibility that it will make me immortal (for some time).
