Extract
I want to begin by expressing my deep gratitude to Jasmine Owens who was my student in 2012 at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, and who began this two volume book series with me as a third year law student doing a one year long senior research paper. We had many fun conversations, and she shared totally my interest in Comparative Constitutional Law and in the topic of these two books. By the end of the year we had an eighty page draft paper covering six or so jurisdictions and the origins of their systems of judicial review. Some of the words she wrote in 2012 are probably still in this book because I can no longer remember when in the last ten years every passage was added.
Jasmine was a brilliant and easy person to work with, and I really enjoyed working with her on her senior essay. The project has percolated in my head for eight additional years now during which time I co-edited an 1,800 page casebook entitled The U.S. Constitutional and Comparative Constitutional Law which gave me lots of material to add to this two volume series, which now covers seventeen jurisdictions. After eight years of writing and rewriting, and after going from an 80 page student paper to a 1,000 page manuscript without staying in touch with Jasmine since 2012, I concluded that I could not make her a co-author of something which I had by then totally redone myself and in which I take controversial positions that she might not share.
