Comparative constitutional law

Synopsis

Comparative Constitutional Law by the distinguished scholars Vicki C. Jackson & Mark V. Tushnet acknowledges that the lawyer of the future must understand the fundamental organization of nations around the world, to be able to work effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic, & globalized legal environment. The transformation of constitutional systems in South Africa & eastern & central Europe, & the increased activity of constitutional courts around the world have generated renewed interest in comparisons among constitutional systems. The materials in Comparative Constitutional Law concentrate on the U.S., Canada, & the nations of western & eastern Europe, with some material drawing on constitutional experience in China, India, Israel, Japan & elsewhere.
