Commentary on the Liechtenstein Constitution
In terms of research in the field of law, a commentary on the Liechtenstein constitution are uncharted waters, as no such comprehensive academic commentary on the state constitution, reflecting the current state of the theory and practice of jurisprudence in relation to the specific ordinances of the constitution, has existed so far. This conspicuous deficit – conspicuous also by comparison with Liechtenstein’s neighbours – has now been repaired. One of this project's particular challenges relates to the need to collate existing literature and case law and to condense this into basic statements about Liechtenstein constitutional law. Novel approaches have also be adopted in respect of the public accessibility of the information, with publishing the results as an online commentary in the Internet. This makes it possible to react quickly, flexibly and inexpensively to changes in legislation, case law or theory.
