Summary:

"Examines constitutional jurisdiction in the so-called Visegrad Four: Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The creation of Constitutional Courts, which in Europe exert much of the functions of the Supreme Court of the U.S., was one of the major milestones in the re-creation of the democratic system in these countries. Prochazka analyses and explains these similarities and differences."
