Linien Der Rechtsprechung Des Bundesverfassungsgerichts

The work of the German Federal Constitutional Court has a significant effect on all three branches of government. While public interest and the media primarily focus their attention on spectacular court decisions, the academic study of law strives to record, analyze, and structure the case law of the Federal Constitutional Court in its entirety. Research associates are the first to observe patterns and trends in case law and follow them in their work. From this intimate perspective, this volume strives to address central, characteristic, and significant topics and questions and discuss them at an academic level. The contributions to this volume range from judgment discussions to summaries of case law. The particular value of this volume lies in its presentation: it is court employees themselves that present the reader with background information as well as trends in constitutional case law and the current and practical bearing on the activities of other branches of government.
