From a methodological perspective, it assumes that it is impossible to apply an absolute criterion of classification, which depends on the purposes comparative scholars aim to achieve when delivering their own taxonomies. A broad definition of constitutional justice is adopted, which revolves around the following taxonomy: 1) the legality of norms, 2) the conformity of actors’ behaviours with the distribution of sovereign powers and 3) the compliance with international covenants on human rights. This tripartite classification complements a further criterion based on the graduation in the intensity of this review. This indeed ranges from a minimum scrutiny limited to legislation (‘nomocratic review’) to a maximum scrutiny encompassing all state activities (‘pantocratic review’). The proposed classification will provide readers with a critical toolbox when it comes to examining the pluralism which characterises the systems of constitutional adjudication around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Abbreviations; 1 Defining Comparative Constitutional Justice; Part I Constitutional Review: The Legality of Norms; 2 Prototypes of Constitutional Litigation; 3 Dissemination, Alteration and Deformation of Constitutional Justice; 4 Variables of Constitutional Justice; Part II Pantocratic Review and the Distribution of Sovereign Powers; 5 Judicial Review on Federal Grounds; 6 Judicial Review and Sovereign Powers; 7 Constitutional Adjudicators and Frame of Government; Part III Human Rights Protection and Democratic Difficulties; 8 Varieties of Judicial Review: Constitutional, Treaty-Based and Transnational; 9 Almighty Judges?
