Argumentation based on judicial authority is now fundamental to the resolution of constitutional disputes. At the same time, it is the most common form of reasoning used by courts. This volume shows not only the strengths and weaknesses of such argumentation, but also its serious methodological shortcomings. The book is comparative in nature, with individual chapters examining similar problems that different courts have resolved in different ways. The research covers three types of courts, namely the civil law constitutional courts of Germany, Italy, Poland, Lithuania, and Hungary, the common law supreme courts of the United States, Canada, and Australia, and the European international courts represented by the European Court of Human Rights, and the Court of Justice of the European Union"-- Provided by the publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Monika Florczak-Wątor is a full professor at the Department of Constitutional Law of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, a director of the Center for Interdisciplinary Constitutional Studies of the Jagiellonian University and director of the Interdisciplinary Program 'Society of the Future' at the Doctoral School in the Social Sciences of the Jagiellonian University, Poland Description based on online resource; title from title screen (viewed July 8, 2022) Subject Constitutional law.
