The President of the ARDC Board of Directors, Prof. Marieta Safta, was invited to join the Expert Council of the 2025 Book of the Year prize awarded by the International Forum on the Future of Constitutionalism, the international forum directed by Prof. Richard Albert (University of Texas at Austin).
The Council brings together constitutional scholars from seven countries: Antonia Baraggia (Italy), Berihun Gebeye (Ethiopia), Masahiko Kinoshita (Japan), Virginie Kuoch (France), Emilio Meyer (Brazil), Jaime Olaiz-González (Mexico) and Marieta Safta (Romania). Nominations opened in January 2026, and the selection rests entirely with the Expert Council.
The presence of a representative of the Romanian school of constitutional law on this international jury reflects the recognition the Romanian constitutional community enjoys within the worldwide academic network.
