    Global Constitutionalism Seminar

    In 1996, Yale Law School launched a Global Constitutionalism Seminar, which in 2011 became a part of the Gruber Program for Global Justice and Women’s Rights at Yale. Available now online are the five most recent volumes of the Seminar. These readings provided the bases for discussions at the three-day Seminar, a private gathering of jurists on constitutional courts, Supreme Courts, and transnational courts, joining with members of the Yale Law Faculty.
