In particular, constitutional review in the context of rights litigation has proved to be most challenging for the courts. By offering in-depth analyses on changes affecting constitutional design and constitutional adjudication, while also engaging with general theories of comparative constitutionalism, this book seeks to provide a heightened understanding of the constitutional and political responses to the issue of adaptability and endurance of rights-based constitutional review. Providing structured analyses the editors combine studies of common law and civil law jurisdictions, centralized and decentralized systems of constitutional review, and large and small jurisdictions." Notes "Based on the contributions originally presented at the Annual Seminar of the Society of Legal Scholars (SLS) held in Dublin in July 2013, organized by Marie-Luce Paris"--Preface Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from title screen (Elgaronline, viewed on June 7, 2018) Subject Constitutional courts -- Congresses Constitutional law -- Congresses Comparative law -- Congresses LAW -- Civil Procedure.
