Planned Constitution Never Got Written, But Israel Still Got Constitutional Law, Marcia R. Gelpe
Planned Constitution Never Got Written, But Israel Still Got Constitutional Law, Marcia R. Gelpe
Faculty Scholarship
Israel's development of constitutional law without a written constitution presents a fascinating picture of how a system, unable to develop a constitution in the usual manner, has developed one in another manner. It shows how innovative lawmaking can be - and sometimes must be - to maintain a democratic political system.

The Constitutional Development Of Religious Freedom In Spain: An Historical Analysis, Daniel B. Montserrat
The Constitutional Development Of Religious Freedom In Spain: An Historical Analysis, Daniel B. Montserrat
Florida State University Journal of Transnational Law & Policy
Religious freedom has always constituted a problem in Spain. It can be said that over the centuries, there has only existed intolerance and even on several occasions, persecution. Clearly, the times in which respect and peaceful coexistence occurred in Spain among the three principal religions were limited and fleeting.

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
In this Article, Professor Silberman suggests that comparative law materials can usefully be introduced in the conflict of laws course.

Equal Protection And Sexual Orientation, Jack Tsen-Ta Lee
Jack Tsen-Ta LEE
Equality is the thread running through the fundamental liberties enshrined in our Constitution. ... Equality, expressed in Art 12 of the [Singapore] Constitution, is also a specific right enforceable by the court. The difficulty comes in applying this deceptively simple concept to real-life situations. ... In considering the validity of legislation, Singapore and Malaysian courts have generally favored rational review, a modest conception of equal protection, unlike their American counterparts which have adopted a more expansive reading in the form of strict and intermediate review. This article examines how these three levels of equal protection review operate, and argues that …
