Open gallery
Professor Ozan Varol presented his forthcoming paper, Constitutional Stickiness (49 U.C. Davis Law Review __ (2016), at a conference panel on constitutional design held as part of the Younger Comparativists Committee Fourth Annual Global Conference, held at Florida State University College of Law in April 2015. Drawing on comparative examples, the paper explores why constitutional makeovers counterintuitively produce relatively little change in constitutional substance and why existing provisions frequently “stick” even where they are arbitrary, suboptimal, or anachronistic.
