In The Maltese Legal System, Volume II, Part B, Professor David Joseph Attard creates a portrait, a snapshot, of the Maltese legal system. Indeed, it is an entire volume dedicated to salient human rights and fundamental freedoms\u2019 case law. The author does not restrict himself only to local constitutional law and rights, but goes beyond that, into the European Convention on Human Rights and the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights.<\/p>\n
Little, if anything, seems to escape the attention and scrutiny of this eminent scholar. One cannot but not notice the painstaking attention to detail. This starts with the division, between protection of human rights in Malta, and the protection of fundamental freedoms in Malta.<\/p>\n
The author lists first the protected human rights and, afterwards, the protected fundamental freedoms. He delves through them one by one, first describing the provision and adding any necessary comments pertinent to their understanding, arranging the chosen court judgments under each article.<\/p>\n
The author studied the case law in great depth, managed to extract the important issues, and classified the court judgments accordingly. He builds his write up on the particular case, on the particular issue which caught his attention, on what is the salient point.<\/p>\n
This seminal volume is seamlessly put together and the principles and the references flow from one to the next. It is not simply a list of ad hoc principles extracted from court judgments, but the fruit of an in depth understanding and scholarly work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
