SUMMARY:The Rule of Law as a Constitutional Essential
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Pavlos Eleftheriadis (University Lecturer & Fellow in Law\, University of Oxford) \n\nAbstract: The United Kingdom constitution endorses both parliamentary sovereignty and the rule of law as constitutional principles of the highest rank. The relations between the two have been a source of great puzzles\, legal and philosophical. In this paper Professor Eleftheriadis attempts to clarify some aspects of their relationship. He will argue that the rule of law is the more fundamental principle. This is because of its particular role in any theory of law. Properly understood\, the value of the rule of law is not one value among many competing values. Its value is deeper because it serves as a foundation for any ordering of our collective life. In this sense it is a constitutional essential in the sense used by Rawls. Without it\, our public scheme of cooperation (or in the language of classical political philosophy the “civil condition”) is either impossible or\, whenever possible\, illegitimate. In a well governed society the powers of parliament\, courts and the government are best understood under the principle of the rule of law\, where the idea of sovereignty plays only a small part. \nA light lunch will be served. \nEvent date: Wednesday\, September 19\, 2012\, from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM\nLocation: Room FLA\, Flavelle House\, Faculty of Law\, University of Toronto \nFor more workshop information\, please contact Nadia Gulezko at n.gulezko@utoronto.ca
