    Pro-Constitutional Interpretation of Statutes. A Few Remarks Related to the Dispute about Judicial Activism
    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2021) Kaczmarczyk, Hubert
    The article presents an opinion in the discussion on the limits of judicial activism. The active attitude of judges in the law-making process according to the so-called concept of ‘pro-constitutional interpretation of the law’ can be observed more and more often. While we may agree with the view that the role of a judge is to pronounce a fair verdict based on the applicable law and judges may give meaning to statutory provisions supplemented with an axiology of the Constitution, the problem appears with particular sharpness when such a pro-constitutional interpretation leads to a specific application of the provisions contra legem.
