Professor Miodrag Jovičić (1925–1999) was the most renowned and prolific Serbian academic in the field of comparative constitutional law. He received his LLB and PhD in law from the University of Belgrade and seldom went abroad for further studies. Although he was strongly influenced by certain French authors, his main source of inspiration was the work of Slobodan Jovanović. Politically marginalized, Jovičić used his research of comparative constitutional law as an escape from reality and the circumstances in his country. Jovičić’s work did not rely on an original method of research. On the contrary, he remained faithful to the methods developed by the mainstream of the world scientific and law community. The apogee of his work was the book Great Constitutional Systems, in which he presented his views on the subject in a systematic and synthetic way. This article presents Jovičić’s method of work and the salient points of his theoretical endeavors, as well as elaborating on his intellectual influences. |
