Learning outcomes

The course proposes a critical survey of the different constitutional designs of the world by focusing on a specific constitutional institute. Among those institutes that may be numbered among the foundations of “modern” and “contemporary” constitutional law, it considers the constitutional adjudication as one of the main legacies of Western constitutionalism. For this purpose, the course will use the comparative legal method, which is useful in cross-national analyses. In this regard, it dproposes classifications of the different models of constitutional review, thus shedding lights on the interrelations between rigidity, enforceability of the constitution and constitutionalism. It then considers cross-fertilisation, as the main form of dissemination of constitutional ideas. Those attending the course will actively participate in it: during the lectures, the class will discuss and debate the different models for addressing judicial review and examine the most relevant judgements that have contributed in developing the role of supreme and constitutional courts in the protection of the constitutional frameworks (and their principles)
