Dieter Grimm is one of the foremost scholars of constitutional law,
constitutional theory, and European law in Germany and worldwide.
His jurisprudential writings have found a large English-language
audience in works such as Constitutionalism: Past, Present, and
Future and The Constitution of European Democracy. This book is a
conversation between Grimm and three scholars of constitutional law
- Oliver Lepsius, Christian Waldhoff, and Matthias Rossbach - on
his background, his childhood under the Nazi regime and the ruins
of post-war Germany, his education in Germany, France, and the
United States, his academic achievements, the main subjects of his
research, his experience as a judge on a leading constitutional
court (especially in the time of pivotal changes in the world after
the fall of the Berlin Wall), and his views on actual challenges
for law and society. Grimm also speaks about his attitude toward
European integration where he is best known for his thesis that one
of the biggest but least noticed causes for the lack of democratic
legitimacy of the EU is its 'over-constitutionalization'. The book
is an invaluable source of information on an outstanding career and
the functioning of constitutional adjudication that the reader
would not find in legal textbooks or treatises. The Times Literary
Supplement, reviewing the German edition, stated: "For anyone
wishing to understand the respect for the rule of law in modern
Germany, this book is highly recommended."
