COVID-19, state of exception, contingency lawAbstract
The pandemic caused by the spread of the coronavirus has profoundly derranged our habits of life and constitutes a socioeconomic challenge as we have not known in the post-World War II. Law, as a phenomenon of social regulation, was also put to the test, in its conformative and adaptive capacities. This text aims, on the one hand, to provide an overview of the responses of the Member States of the European Union to the constitutional problems posed by the need to manage the pandemic and, on the other hand, to point out aspects that should constitute lessons for the future.
