Item description from seller

Hardcover, ix + 281 pages, b&w photos in text, NOT ex-library. 4 essays in English + 3 in French. Faint dark marks (look like a printing fault) along the side edge of the half-title page, else fine. Book is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Minor marks on the dust jacket. -- This volume investigates the shifting boundaries of justice and unjusticiability in legal thought, historical practice, and comparative constitutional law. It brings together contributions that examine when, why, and how courts and judges have declined to adjudicate certain questions and how such refusals have been justified. Essays span multiple perspectives: the problem of denial of justice and judicial responsibility in the early modern era; the reconsideration of equity traditions expressed in the maxims aequitas and billigkeit; the unresolved controversies over the justiciability of social rights; and the complex relationship between unjusticiability and sovereignty in constitutional theory. Other chapters address the role of the French Conseil constitutionnel, as well as the constitutional crisis in contemporary Poland, assessing the limits of normative legal theory when confronted with political breakdown. By engaging both legal history and comparative analysis, the collection illustrates how the notion of unjusticiability has persisted across centuries while acquiring new forms in response to changing social and political conditions. -- Contents: Justice and unjusticiability: perspectives and issues between history and comparison / Ermanno Calzolaio & Luigi Lacchè; Denial of justice and forms of responsibility of the judge: Paradigms of non-justiciability in the Modern age / Giuseppe Mecca; Si iudex non facit iustitiam: Equity (aequitas, billichkeit) reconsidered / Ulrike Müßig; The Never-Ending Debate on the 'Non-Justiciability' of Social Rights / Erik Longo; Injusticiabilité et souveraineté / Pierre Serrand; L'injusticiabilité devant le Conseil constitutionnel / Vanessa Barbé; L'injusticiabilité de la crise constitutionnelle polonaise: Contribution à la critique de la théorie normativiste du droit / Wojciech Zagorski.
