„Constitutional jurisdiction at state and federal level is one of the central foundations of our constitutional order. The Saxon Constitution assigns this important function to the Constitutional Court in Saxony. In over thirty years, the Constitutional Court has decisively shaped our Free State with its jurisdiction. I am therefore delighted that the state parliament has today decided in favour of three outstanding lawyers, thereby strengthening the constitutional jurisdiction in Saxony as a whole, “ says Justice Minister Katja Meier.

„Important and forward-looking topics are negotiated here. This also applies to the use of digital technologies, which increasingly raise questions within the jurisdiction of the Constitutional Court and require clarification. For example, the question of video surveillance in public places, “ emphasises Prof. Lauber-Rönsberg. „But there are also constitutional issues beyond this, which I would like to help clarify.“
