This paper aims to discuss the results of an empirical research involving Juvenile Court judges in Italy. The object of the investigation is the interpretation of the legal category known as the principle of the best interests of the child, seen as a "magic concept" due to its vagueness, ambiguity and conflicting interpretations.

Keywords: Minors - Juvenile court judges - Empirical research - Best interests of the child
