CCCS Seminar: Constitutional Courts in Fragile Democracies

Thu 19/05/2011

Time: 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM

Speaker:

Professor Samuel Issacharoff

Description:

Professor Issacharoff is the Reiss Professor of Constitutional Law at New York University Law School, New York. He is in Melbourne to teach Law of Democracy in the Melbourne Law Masters, from 11-17 May. In Fragile Democracies he explores how and why states in transition to democracy rely on constitutionalconstraints, enforced through judicial review, to reinforce legitimacy and assist to secure stability. His work draws on the experience of many states in the contemporary world that are currently undergoing some form of constitutional transition, many of which also have deeply divided societies in which constitutional constraints on majority action have particular application.
