Election Law
Acting Professor Christopher Elmendorf's research focuses on the roles that ongoing advisory bodies can play in fostering governmental accountability and sustaining the foundational commitments of liberal democracy. In "Representation Reinforcement Through Advisory Commissions: The Case of Election Law," published in the New York University Law Review, he examines advisory commissions as a source of political process reforms. His forthcoming article, "Advisory Counterparts to Constitutional Courts," traces the emergence in many nations of permanent investigatory and advice-giving bodies with the kinds of missions -- to reinforce democracy, safeguard rights, and protect minorities -- that legal scholars more typically ascribe to constitutional courts.
