Advisory Board

Our Advisory Board consists of 23 law academics, ranging from early-career scholars to senior professors. All members are selected for their distinguished work in their respective fields, innovative research, and their well-qualified expertise to provide expert feedback. Our selection process for composing the board is guided by several criteria. In addition to academic excellence, we ensure diversity in terms of gender, seniority, and methodological approaches. As the Verfassungsblog significantly internationalised in recent years, we also make sure to include Advisory Board members from geographical regions that feature prominently in our work.
