Abstract

From the Introduction:

"The principal goal of this report is to chart for an essentially non-American audience the course of doctrinal movement and change in important areas of Ameri­can constitutional law. The report relics almost entirely upon primary sources, particularly the decisions and opinions of the United States Supreme Court. The opinions and decisions discussed here arc those which in our view have had the most impact upon American governmental institutions, political processes, and constitu­tional policy in the period under review. In the short space provided we clearly cannot cover developments in all areas of American constitutional law. One such area conspicuous by its absence is the field of criminal justice administration, a highly specialized field of analysis that is best treated in another place."

Comments

From the Introduction:

This review of developments in American constitutional law and public policy covers the period from 1976 to approximately mid-1981. It is a sequel to previous reports that have appeared in Jahrbuch des offentlichen Rechts.
