1 COMPARATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL LAW (LAW 230) Spring Quarter, Instructor: Maryam Khan Course Timings: Mon & Wed, am pm Office Hours: By prior appointment (from Mon through Thurs) Contact: maryamk@lums.edu.pk ; ext Course Objectives This is a core law course designed to introduce students to the historical development and conceptual breadth of constitutional law in comparison. This broad brush approach will help students synergize the concepts, issues and debates in comparative constitutional law with other courses they will be taking in future, including human rights, and constitutional history and constitutional law of Pakistan. We will critically assess broader historical, political and sociological questions surrounding constitution-making processes, constitutional structure and design, judicial enforcement of constitutions, the rise of global constitutionalism, constitutional rights, judicial roles and accountability, and Islamic constitutionalism. In exploring such a broad conceptual terrain, the readings assigned will aim to synthesize analyses from interdisciplinary sources. While the UK and US constitutional frameworks and systems will be used as reference points, we will also critically engage with constitutional developments in South Asia broadly, with particular emphasis on India and Pakistan. As already stated, this is not intended as a narrow black letter law course. Our objective will be to interweave questions of comparative constitutional law with comparative political history and development, with the caveat that our focus will be on modern constitutions and constitutionalism. Further, we will be engaging almost entirely with common law systems, with perhaps some cursory glances along the way at civil law systems. Teaching Methodology & Grading The classes will encourage interactive dialogue and all students will be given a chance to make short presentations in class on the basis of the readings. Students must come to each class prepared, and with all the relevant materials for that day. Students are reminded that the attendance policy will be strictly implemented. The final grade for the course will comprise of the aggregate of the following grading instruments: Class Participation 20% 2 Response Papers 40% Final Exam/Paper 40% 1
2 COMPARATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL LAW SYLLABUS PART I Introduction: The Why & How of Comparative Constitutional Law 1. No Readings. 2. Why Comparative Constitutional Law? We take a critical look at the aims and functions of comparative constitutional law. Along with the larger discourse on constitutional migration and its implications, we explore the sub-theme of constitutional comparativism, or the import of legal authority from foreign jurisdictions by domestic constitutional courts, through a case study.

Simmons, 543 U.S. 551 (2005) (pay particular attention to Part IV of the majority opinion; Part II.D. of Justice O Connor s dissent; and Part III of Justice Scalia s dissent). Vicki C.

We start with the brief study of the processes of modern state-building in Europe and the attendant evolution in the nature of sovereignty and rule of law, with the objective of understanding the rise of 2
3 modern constitutional traditions. We then move on to the Lockean beginnings of constitutionalism, and from there to the pioneer of representative government: Britain in the 19 th century. The materials rely heavily on legal historians and philosophers who, quite apart from illuminating the various aspects of British constitutionalism and parliamentarism, also engage in comparative insights with the constitutional structure and ethos of 19 th century America. The following session looks at constitutional developments in the US, with particular emphasis on the doctrine of separation of powers and constitutional supremacy. The last two sessions focus on changing notions of constitutionalism and constitution-making processes to underscore the political nature of constitutionalism. 4.
