Plenary Panel:
Perspectives on Latin American Constitutional Law
Latin America presents one of the most interesting and complex regions for the study of law
in its social context. The region has long had a rich diversity of legal systems and institutions,
including a breathtaking diversity of judicial designs, institutional strength, constitutional
provisions, and systems of precedent. Recent decades have seen a sharp increase in the power
of constitutional law and constitutional courts across the region, with an increasing swath of
political issues becoming judicialized. Courts have taken on a range of issues including socioeconomic rights, same-sex marriage, abortion, and political corruption. At the same time,
scholars from the region are placing increased attention on the existence of constitutional
cultures and constitutional politics outside of the courts. Finally, some constitution-makers in
the Andes have promulgated a new model of constitutionalism that represents a challenge to the
liberal model. This panel will explore some of the most interesting issues surrounding the past
and future of Latin American constitutionalism, including constitution-making, the system of
precedent, the sources of judicial power and models of judicial review, and popular
constitutionalism.
