ACES affiliate member Chantal Mak is a co-editor of the newly published book, 'Civil Courts and the European Polity - The Constitutional Role of Private Law Adjudication in Europe'. The book compiles chapters developed based on the final conference of her project, 'Judges in Utopia: Judicial Law-Making in European Private Law,' which was subsidized by an NWO Vidi grant.

The book aims to provide a private legal perspective to existing discourses in European constitutional law regarding Europe's political landscape. It examines two main debates: the first one concerns the influence of fundamental rights in private legal relations, while the second focuses on the constitutional dimension of European private law. These contributions are framed within five dimensions of judge-made European private law: the politics of European private law adjudication, rights, remedies, representation, and judges' reflections on specific cases.
