The Conseil constitutionnel and judicial review
I propose to research and write an article (or perhaps a short book) on the French Conseil constitutionnel. This work would be highly comparative in nature, contrasting the many unique aspects of the Conseil constitutionnel with relevant aspects and characteristics of the Supreme Court of the United States and the Constitutional Court of the Federal Republic of Germany. I hope to focus on the Conseil constitutionnel as it is today -- including its composition and recent decisions -- against the background of its historical development since 1958.
