Maria Elena Attard

Researcher

Maria Elena is a Professor in Constitutional and Administrative Law and a researcher for the LOLA project. She was driven to make part of the LOLA team because of the project’s potential to address legal pluralism from the advances of constitutional models of countries that are often left at the periphery of Comparative Constitutional studies, specifically Bolivia, her home country. She believes that through LOLA, criteria for legal pluralism can be systematized to advance comparative law analysis that considers the progress and regrettable setbacks experienced over the past decade in Bolivia and other countries of the region.
