Overview
Designed to pull together expertise on diverse jurisdictions, this postgraduate-level short course, Constitutional Law in Practice: Regional Perspectives, will introduce you to the constitutional history and current practice in selected countries, regions and supra-state entities.
Each week, with the help of a specialist and materials available online in advance, you will discover how the perennial problems that constitutionalism is meant to address persist in a diverse range of polities across the globe. You will also critically appraise:
- the function of constitutionalist discourse in the justification of prevailing political and economic models

- situations of constitutional ‘exceptionalism’, such as declarations of states of emergency or coups d’états.
This course is suitable for anyone with a professional or personal interest in the field of law. It will be of particular interest to anyone wanting to enhance their career through Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in this area.
This short course is assessed by a 4000-word essay (100%).
