Associate Professor Alexandrina ZAHARIA, PhD Danubius' University of Galati, Galati, Romania alexandrinazaharia@univ-danubius.ro Senior Lecturer Adriana PAO CAN, PhD Danubius University of Galati, Galati, Romania adriana.pascan~univ-danubius.ro Adrian ZAHARIA, PhD in progress Public Notary Office ,,Adrian Zaharia, Galati, Romania alexandrinazaharia@univ-danubius.ro Abstract: In this paper we are trying to offer those practicing law a theoretical and practical approach of some dispositions in Law 202/ October 25, 2010 regarding some measures to accelerate the adjudication of matters, known as the Law on the Small Justice Reform, that amended and completed the Code of Civil Procedure.
