Law

It is a complex work on the interpretation of law, paying a lot of attention to the Constitution, on which the entire system of national law is built. The monograph looks for the criteria of legality of the Constitution. It contains the basics of the hierarchy of law, the primary form of law, and the basics of any area of legal regulation. Therefore, a coherent theory of constitutional interpretation methodology is a necessity. We find the foundations of such a theory in the monograph. The reader should also be interested in the analysis of the development of law. It should be noted that the book presents not only the concept of the place and significance of the official constitutional doctrine of Lithuania, but also the scientific methodology of the evaluation of the doctrine itself. The Constitution is a law that is constantly applied, so the methodology of its interpretation is important not only for university professors or students, but also for political actors, legal practitioners, and the general public. It is also very gratifying that the monograph refers to the authorities of French legal science, whose interpretation of the opinion is very interesting and valuable.—Dr. Sophie Molinier, Maître de conférences Histoire du droit of University of Paris 8 Vincennes – Saint-Denis, France
