Extensively revised and expanded to take into account recent developments since German unification, this second edition describes the background, structure, and functions of the Court and provides extensive commentary on German constitutional interpretation. It includes translations of seventy-six landmark decisions, among them the highly controversial religious liberty and free speech decisions handed down in 1995.
