Constitutional and Administrative Law

• Constitutional law focuses on the interpretation and application of the Constitution, safeguarding the rights and freedoms of individuals. It includes challenges to legislation, executive actions, and protection of socio-economic and civil rights.
  Administrative law governs the actions and decisions of public and governmental bodies. It ensures that public power is exercised lawfully, fairly, and rationally, and provides mechanisms for judicial review of administrative actions. These areas are essential for maintaining the rule of law and holding public institutions accountable.
