Les Competences Du Juge Constitutionnel Roumain

The law review, as it was organized in Romania by the constitutional power in 1923 and 1991, is a concentrated control. Entrusted by the Constitution of 1923 in Plenum of the highest Court, it is according to the current Constitution to a special and specialized body, largely inspired by the European model of the constitutional courts. By choosing the European model, the Constitutional Court has strengthened skills relative to what it had in the period before the war. These are mostly skills in the political field, determined by the fact that the Constitutional Court is a judicial-political body. On the other hand, while the law review existing under the Constitution of 1923 was a posterior control, the Court exercises both a posteriori control as a priori. The study presents in a comparative perspective the competences of these two constitutional jurisdictions, proposing a classification which takes into consideration the nature of the constitutional instance.
