, Overview
Judicial review A judge can examine a legal decision or norm, or another
object of scrutiny, and check its compatibility with a higher
norm
A judge may, depending on the system, test whether a
regional law is in harmony or in conflict with a higher,
national law
If the lower law provides rules that go against the provisions of the
higher law
the judge, if he has review power, may establish a conflict
Constitutional Judge may check whether an administrative decision by a
review of legislation public authority complies with the authorizing general
legislation
depending on the system, examine the validity of a
national statute by setting it against the national
constitution
Example
hypothetical review of the constitutionality of a criminal
provision that prescribes the death penalty whereas the
constitution bans the death penalty
Other types of the judge may review the constitutionality of political
judicial review parties
may review the compatibility of national law with general
principles of law, such as proportionality, or with an
international treaty, such as the European Convention on
Human Rights
where applicable, check the compliance of treaties or acts
of international organizations with the national
constitution
Judicial review is thus a court’s power to detect conflicts in law,
and possibly to attach consequences to resolve the conflict
Constitutional Review of Legislation
Arguments to justify the right for judges to Arguments against the right for judges
review the constitutionality of legislation to review the constitutionality of
legislation
1. Judicial review guarantees the The constitution can very well be
supremacy of Constitution supreme, without frustrating the will of
the constitution is the highest norm in a the lawmaker
legal system The lawmaker should simply
all other law derives from its authority take account of the
legislation should not be allowed to constitution when passing
violate the constitution statutes in the first place, and
judges should refuse to apply normal make the right choices itself,
statutes if they violate the constitution subject as it is to democratic
Having a constitution but no constitutional oversight from the voters
review powers for the courts would be pointless (democratically elected office-
since the lawmaker could violate the holders vs unelected judges)
