Bernhard Waldmann

Bernhard Waldmann is a prominent professor of administrative and constitutional law at the University of Freiburg in Switzerland. He has contributed significantly to discussions on public law and governance, particularly regarding the legal frameworks surrounding inter-cantonal organizations. Recently, his research has highlighted the complexities of how inter-cantonal conferences, such as the Conference of Cantonal Governments (KdK), operate and their relationship with public transparency laws. His insights were crucial in a recent legal decision by the Zurich Administrative Court, which affirmed that such organizations are not exempt from public disclosure when handling documents within cantonal authorities.
