He describes the bifurcated judicial Chilean judicial system, which includes both a Supreme Court and a Constitutional Court, reflects on how the Chilean system draws on other constitutional systems, and explains the relationship between the two Chilean high courts. He discusses a recent controversy, in which the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court have disputed their relative authorship, and reflect on how it should be resolved.
