Communist regimes in the former communist countries were ousted, free elections took place, and the peoples of the region began the slow and arduous task of trying to lay the foundations for constitutional democracies. Events moved with amazing speed. For example, by the end of 1989, Vaclav Havel, a former dissident, became the first president of post-communist Czechoslovakia. \n \nThe new era brought the making of new constitutions. Drafters looked westward, especially to Western Europe, but also to America.   \n \nMy first invitation came from Hungary. The team charged with drafting a new constitution came to Charlottesville, and I did a series of seminars for them on constitution-making. I drew on my experience here in Virginia, as well as work I had done in other places, such as Hong Kong and the Philippines. These consultations were followed by my being invited to Budapest, where I was the guest of the Hungarian Parliament. \n \nI then had invitations to work with other countries in the region. Sometimes the invitation came from the President's office, as in Czechoslovakia. Sometimes it came from the Parliament, as in Poland. Typically there was American sponsorship, either official (for example, the State Department) or NGO (especially the American Bar Association's Central and Eastern European Law Initiative). Usually I was a member of a team (for example, I worked closely with DC attorney Lloyd Cutler and American University professor Herman Schwartz in Prague). Often there were also consultants from European countries, such as Germany's Helmut Steinberger or France's Robert Badinter). \n \nI took my role throughout to be a modest one. Sometimes I was directly involved in drafting (as in Prague). Other times the work was by way of offering general advice.  I tried to avoid seeming to be a cultural imperialist; that is, I did not try to force the American model on the people of another country.    I tried to sketch out basic principles, ask a lot of questions, and get drafters thinking about options and choices\".","Professor Howard writes:\n\"… the highlights of these files relate to endowed lectures at major universities (such as the Caroline Robbins Lecture at the University of London), lectureships sponsored by major foundations (such as a British foundation's sponsorship of lectures at major universities in the UK, including Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh, etc.), my chairmanship of the Virginia Commission on the Bicentennial of the United States Constitution), my regular appearances at the Fourth Circuit Judicial Conference (at each conference, I organize and moderate a program reviewing the most recent Term of the Supreme Court), and various other programs.\"","The following documents that have been digitized and are available upon request.","Processed by Amber","List of taken out printed materials is available ion folder control in Special Collections.","The papers of A.

Between the time I accepted the clerkship and the time I reported for duty, Felix Frankfurter had a stroke and left the Court. He was replaced by Arthur Goldburg, Thus the field marshal of the Court's conservative wing was replaced by a liberal. This shifted the balance on the Court to the more liberal justices. It was at that moment that the Warren Court came into its own, I had the fortune of sitting at the elbow of the architect of much of the Warren Court's most important decisions. An example (during my time) was Gideon v. Wainwright.\"","Boxes 11- 15 Teaching Files: Comparative Constitutional Law, Constitutionalism, Jurisprudence, Supreme Court Seminar (All these files have restricted materials that have been signaled).","Boxes 15 -21 are comprised of case files.

The Bricks Company v.
