Sources of Law in the EU Member States

The section Sources of Law in the European Union Member States intends to follow the evolution of legal sources in some member States of the European Union (EU) mainly from a qualitative point of view. The journal counts on a network of scholars specializing in constitutional law located in the different States, who make use of their expertise to identify and evaluate the trend in the choice of sources of law which is taking place in their country, considering also the integration process influencing the institutional balance of power and the internal legal systems.  

The section consists of short reports on recent sources of law, signaled for their relevance. For the sake of consistency in the findings from different countries, the focus has been put on State sources of law (with particular emphasis on Parliamentary and Government), and on sources implementing EU Law. The section considers also Commentary on relevant case-law adopted by upper-level courts (especially the Constitutional Court), or Reports published by the Parliament or other bodies on the evolution of sources of law.

The objective of this section is to contribute to comparing these trends in how member States choose to enact certain legal sources. Here the variety of approaches depends on diversity as to the internal form of government, the political or institutional balance, and the impact of EU Law on the internal legal order. In case of federal States, such as Germany or Belgium, reference can also be made to the vertical relationships between the federation and the States.
