  The spin susceptibility $\chi(T)$ of strongly correlated Fermi systems is
investigated in the density region where Fermi-liquid theory fails. We
attribute this failure to a specific quantum phase transition associated with a
rearrangement of the Landau state at low temperatures $T$, retaining the
assumption that the Landau quasiparticle picture survives in a generic sense.
Taking into account the resulting modification of the quasiparticle istribution
function, the spin susceptibility $\chi(T)$ is shown to contain a Curie-Weiss
component $\chi_{\rm CW}(T)\sim (T-\Theta_{\rm W})^{-1}$, with the Weiss
temperature $\Theta_{\rm W}$ vanishing at the critical density for the
transition.
