This chapter examines the two models of judicial review that exist in the common law countries: the Diffuse Model and the Second Look Model. The Diffuse Model of judicial review originated in the United States and has spread to India, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, most of the countries of Latin America, the Scandinavian countries (except for the Netherlands), and Japan. It is premised on the idea that a country’s written constitution is its supreme law and that courts, when deciding cases or controversies that are properly before them, are thus duty-bound to follow the constitution, which is supreme law, and not a contrary statute whenever those two items conflict. Meanwhile, the essence of the Second Look Model of judicial review is that a Supreme or Constitutional Court ought to have the power of judicial review, subject to some kind of legislative power of override. This, it is said, best harmonizes the advantages of a written constitution and a bill of rights enforced by courts with the imperatives of democratic self-government. The underlying goal is to obtain the advantages of both constitutional government and also of democratic government.

Abstract The concept of “weak” judicial review is now a core concept in comparative constitutional analysis. Yet the relative weakness of judicial review will depend on a variety of factors, including the availability of formal mechanisms for legislative override or limiting courts’ jurisdiction, the difficulty of constitutional amendment, the scope of judicial review both in first- and second-look cases, and the actual practice of legislators and judges in a jurisdiction. The strength of judicial review is therefore not a true binary but rather a concept that spans multiple dimensions and a question of degree rather than kind. The desirability of weak as opposed to strong or even super-strong forms of review will likewise depend on a range of factors, which can and do vary across time and different contexts. This article thus aims to unpack the concept of weak-form review with a view to sharpening our understanding of both its internal complexity and relationship to questions of broader political context.
