CONTENT OF THE COURSE: THE FIRST, INTRODUCTORY PART OF THE PROGRAM IS DEVOTED TO THE CONCEPT OF CONSTITUTIONALISM. THE AIM IS TO GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW ON THE MAJOR MILESTONES WHICH LED TO THE BIRTH OF THE WRITTEN CONSTITUTION. THE SECOND PART OF THE COURSE DEALS WITH THE BONHAM’S CASE, WHICH IS REGARDED BY MANY LEGAL EXPERTS AS THE ORIGIN OF JUDICIAL REVIEW. IN THE THIRD PART, WE ANALYSE THE VERDICT ISSUED IN THE FAMOUS MARBURY V. MADISON CASE (1803), ALONG WITH A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE UNITED STATES. TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE ORIGINS OF JUDICIAL REVIEW, WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE EARLY CASES TOO.

DURING THIS PART OF THE COURSE, EACH STUDENT SHALL HOLD A PRESENTATION ABOUT THE ORIGINS OF CONSTITUTIONAL ADJUDICATION IN THEIR RESPECTIVE HOME COUNTRIES.
