	Court (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		A court is an official, public forum which a public power establishes by lawful authority to adjudicate disputes, and to dispense civil, labour, administrative and criminal justice under the law.
		Some courts may function with a jury that make decisions about the facts before the court under the direction of the judge; in other courts, decisions of both fact and law are made by the judge or judges, this is particularly common in appellate courts where juries are unusual in most jurisdictions.
		The extent of a court's power to hear the various matters which come before it—its "jurisdiction"—may stem from a provision of a written constitution, from an enabling statute or, for example in English Law, it may be inherent, deriving from the Common Law origin of the court.

		Constitutional courts in the postcommunist countries of Central and Eastern Europe have been either newly established or rebuilt on new democratic principles.
		On the other hand, there is public interest in constitutional issues among lawyers and teachers who specialize in constitutional law, law students doing their Ph.D. research in this area, journalists writing about political cases, and ordinary citizens interested in the role of a constitutional court or the pictures and biographies of constitutional justices.
		In this first stage, four courts were selected: (1) the Constitutional Court of Hungary, in Budapest; (2) the Constitutional Court of the Slovak Republic, in Kosice; (3) the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic, in Brno; and (4) the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, in Moscow.

		The Constitutional Court of Hungary, by a 7-2 decision written by the President of the Court, struck down amendments to the law on agricultural cooperatives.
		The court declared that the amendments violated the constitutional rights to a healthy environment and to the highest possible level of physical and spiritual health because they would take out of protection parts of the environment that had already been legally declared to be protected.
		The level of such protection must be high according to objective standards, said the court, and once a certain level of protection has been accorded by the state, it cannot be withdrawn.

	IMPORTING THE LAW IN POST-COMMUNIST TRADITIONS: THE HUNGARIAN CONSTITUTIONAL COURT AND THE RIGHT TO HUMAN DIGNITY
		In so doing, the Court replaced or reinterpreted the rights inherited from communism on the basis of human dignity…The new concept of rights developed by the Court led judges to nullify, almost systematically, the rules enacted under communism which were challenged before the Court (p.134).
		Citing "modern constitutions" and their exemplification in the German model, the Hungarian Court, she suggests, adopted a convenient strategy for introducing Western conceptions of constitutionalism into a formerly Eastern bloc country, without the necessity to justify such a change in purely ideological or philosophical terms.
		This is an interesting thesis, but again the point is stretched somewhat when she seeks to extend her argument, on the basis of a single case study, into a broader one concerning the contemporary characteristics of the process of legal globalisation generally.
