I want this proposal to examine comparative judicial and political systems looking into the practice of judicial review, the doctrine of judicial supremacy, and the conflicts which may arise between the judiciary and other branches of government in a nation-state. If possible, I want to include comparative studies of the judicial systems of the US, UK, Germany, and Italy to show how these nation-states address the concept of judicial review or not. Furthermore, I would like to include jurisprudential/legal theory regarding the rule of law and the role and power of the judiciary from such authors as John Austin, HLA Hart, Lon Fuller, Ronald Dworkin, and Jeremy Waldron. This is a research proposal for a dissertation, so it should indicate an understanding of these various topics and include an explicitly stated research question, abstract, methodology section, and a section detailing the significance of the research. I would like an emphasis on the importance of judicial review and judicial supremacy in maintaining an effective rule of law that also applies to the sovereign and lawmaking branches of government. I would like you to incorporate these ideas into a cohesive and compelling research question and dissertation proposal for entry into a doctoral program. Please refer to the attached Word documents which detail the specifications for the format of the proposal, as well as instructor comments on my first draft (also attached) that must be taken into account. I have also attached some of the work I have already done exploring the topic with some additional reader comments. Please use that as a starting point and be sure to address the concerns expressed in the “Incorporate These Suggestions” document. Please contact me with any questions/concerns so that we can make this outstanding.
