Overview:\u00a0<\/strong>The Course explores the interconnections between the Indian and Irish Constitutions. Comparative\u00a0Constitutional Law is emerging as an independent area of law and practice. Most modern\u00a0Constitutions, like the Indian Constitution, borrow from other Constitutions at the stage of design\u00a0i.e. writing the Constitution and at the stage of its interpretation.
\nThe Indian Supreme Court has a long history of using comparative law in its judgments. It may\u00a0seem unusual that any fruitful comparison could be drawn between as small a state as Ireland, and\u00a0one as large as India: yet, curiously, there are significant areas where, Indians and Irish, as people,\u00a0lawyers, and judges, meet \u201cour own image\u201d in law. It is, of course, a two way \u201cmirror\u201d, which reflects\u00a0both ways. The overarching theme of the course is how to maintain the legitimacy of a constitution\u00a0in the face of political, economic and social change, all of which impose pressures on the fabric of a\u00a0constitution itself.<\/p>\n
