: Legal Theory BlogRossi on Williams on State Constitutional Law
By Lawrence Solum
Jim Rossi (Florida State University - College of Law) has posted Assessing the State of State Constitutionalism (Michigan Law Review, Vol. 109, 2011) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
-
State constitutions are terribly important legal documents, but their interpretation is remarkably understudied (and, of course, highly undertheorized) in the academic literature. This review essay discusses Robert Williams?s welcome new book, The Law of American State Constitutions (Oxford University Press, 2009). After summarizing the content of Williams?s book, it discusses the normative significance of his work, focusing especially on his discussion of independent state constitutions and the positive theory of interpretation he advances. The essay concludes by highlighting some areas where the field of state constitutional law is in need of further advancement, including research that positions state constitutions within federalism and engages in serious institutional analysis.
