Southern Europe

Southern Europe gathers the modern judges of Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Malta and Cyprus. Italy's Constitutional Court and Spain's Constitutional Court, both established after their countries' mid-century transitions from authoritarian rule and both closely studied models of post-authoritarian constitutional design, anchor the largest share of the group, alongside Portugal's, Greece's, Malta's and Cyprus's own highest courts.
