Duke University Press recently announced the publication of
the third edition of The
Constitutional Jurisprudence of the Federal Republic of Germany. Network member Russell Miller
(W&L University School of Law, Co-Editor-in-Chief of the German LawJournal) has joined the project’s original author – Notre Dame’s Donald Kommers – on
this third edition. This renowned
English-language treatise on German constitutional law has been fully updated
and significantly expanded to incorporate previously omitted topics and recent
decisions of the German Federal Constitutional Court. Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote
the foreword while also contributing a cover blurb, along with (network member)
Kim Scheppele, Vicki Jackson, and Aharon Barak.
The book was also recently the subject of a symposium
– hosted by the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin and the American Academy inBerlin – honoring Professor Kommers on his 80th birthday.
Aside from its inherent interest in comparative constitutional
law, this volume will be invaluable to those who seek a better understanding of
the role of the German jurisprudence in European integration and the Eurozone
crisis. In that regard, the book features
a new chapter on the jurisprudence of Germany’s “open state” – exploring the
tangled relationship between German constitutional law, international law, and
European integration. We urge all
network members – indeed, the broader public – to take a look.
