Recenzje

‘A book about leading jurists in constitutional courts around the world offers an instructive path to greater understanding of comparative constitutional problems and comparative judicial reasoning. This work has the additional strength of covering a wide range of courts, some of which are familiar but many of which feature less often in global studies. It is a welcome addition to the field.’ Cheryl Saunders, Laureate Professor Emeritus, and Co-Director of Studies, Public and International Law, Melbourne Law School; President Emeritus of the International Association of Constitutional Law
