Today, many of these courts are under attack both politically and intellectually. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this book, Grimm considers some of the fundamental questions under academic scrutiny today: are constitutional courts political or legal institutions? Is judicial review a political or a legal activity? Is it a threat to, or a condition, of democracy? Should these courts be abolished or strengthened? Is a rational interpretation of constitutional law possible? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe essays provide answers to these questions and describe how constitutional courts work if they properly fulfill their function of enforcing the constitution. A special emphasis is put on the importance of constitutional interpretation: something, the author argues, that most critics of constitutional adjudication neglect.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDieter Grimm\u003c\/b\u003e is an internationally renowned authority on constitutional law, constitutional theory, constitutional history and constitutional adjudication, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 312\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.66 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 25, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54486829924627,"sku":"9781509976898","price":122.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/6300\/3667\/files\/wNbpJwBZKs9781509976898.webp?v=1784872328","url":"https:\/\/finduslaw.com\/products\/constitutional-courts-and-judicial-review-between-law-and-politics-paperback","provider":"FindUSlaw Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
