Constitutional Adjudication

This book continues the thick comparative approach that lies at the heart of the Max Planck Handbook series. It addresses one of the most significant phenomena of modern-day public law: constitutional adjudication. This book introduces, through individual country reports, the institutions and practices that make constitutional adjudication come to life across the Continent. Thus, each country report will explain the history, design, composition, and practice of the body that engages (or not) in constitutional scrutiny. To draw as complete a picture as possible, the book includes countries with powerful constitutional courts, jurisdictions with traditional supreme courts, and states with small institutions and limited ex ante review. In keeping with the focus on a diverse but unified legal space, each report also details how its institution fits into the broader association of constitutional courts that, through dialogue and conflict, brings to fruition the European legal space.
