Kommers, now joined by Russell A. Miller, is a rich resource. Offering far more than excellent English-language translations of the decisions of a renowned tribunal, Professors Kommers and Miller supply incisive analyses and commentary. I am pleased to herald the publication of this third edition of a masterful text. . . . Brought right up to the moment . . . \u003ci\u003eThe Constitutional Jurisprudence of the Federal Republic of Germany\u003c\/i\u003e is an engaging, enlightening, indispensable source for those seeking to learn from the text and context of German constitutional jurisprudence.\"-From the foreword by \u003cb\u003eRuth Bader Ginsburg\u003c\/b\u003e, Associate Justice, the Supreme Court of the United States\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\"The constitutional law of Germany-and the judgments of the German Federal Constitutional Court-are central for anyone interested in comparative constitutional law. This book is an excellent introduction to German constitutional thinking. It makes one better understand one's own constitution and its problems. I have relied heavily on the previous editions. This latest one is essential.\"-\u003cb\u003eAharon Barak\u003c\/b\u003e, former President, the Supreme Court of Israel\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\"This is the single most important book in English on one of the world's most important courts. More than a hornbook because it includes smartly edited cases, and more than a casebook because it adds outstanding institutional, historical, and doctrinal context, this volume provides a first-rate introduction to the German Federal Constitutional Court, which has been among the most influential courts in the world in creating global constitutional law. With this volume, English-speaking readers can see why.\"-\u003cb\u003eKim Lane Scheppele\u003c\/b\u003e, Director of the Program in Law and Public Affairs and Laurance S.

Kommers delivers a thoroughly updated and, in some respects, reorganized work, which gives needed attention both to constitutional amendments (as in the chapter on federalism) and to conceptual developments in the Constitutional Court's jurisprudence. The authors' evident familiarity with German and U.S. constitutional law deepens the book's comparative perspective. This has been and will remain an indispensable resource for scholars and students who want to develop a deep understanding of Germany's constitutional system.\"-\u003cb\u003eVicki C.

The third edition of this renowned English-language reference has now been fully updated and significantly expanded to incorporate both previously omitted topics and recent decisions of the German Federal Constitutional Court. As in previous editions, Donald P. Kommers and Russell A. Miller's discussions of key developments in German constitutional law are augmented by elegantly translated excerpts from more than one hundred German judicial decisions.\u003cp\u003eCompared to previous editions of \u003ci\u003eThe Constitutional Jurisprudence of the Federal Republic of Germany\u003c\/i\u003e, this third edition more closely tracks Germany's Basic Law and, therefore, the systematic approach reflected in the most-respected German constitutional law commentaries. Entirely new chapters address the relationship between German law and European and international law; social and economic rights, including the property and occupational rights cases that have emerged from Reunification; jurisprudence related to issues of equality, particularly gender equality; and the tension between Germany's counterterrorism efforts and its constitutional guarantees of liberty. Kommers and Miller have also updated existing chapters to address recent decisions involving human rights, federalism, European integration, and religious liberty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eForeword to the Third Edition \/ Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg xi\u003cbr\u003e Preface to the Third Edition xiii\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments xvii\u003cbr\u003e Note on Translations and Judicial Opinions xxi\u003cbr\u003e Abbreviations xxv\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
