SUMMARY:Judging Social Rights
DESCRIPTION:CONSTITUTIONAL ROUNDTABLE \nand the \nInternational Human Rights Program \npresent \nJeff King\, Senior Lecturer\, Faculty of Law\, University College\, London\nThursday\, January 10\, 2013\n12:30 – 2:00\nRoom FLC\, Flavelle House\, Faculty of Law\n78 Queen’s Park \nJeff King is a distinguished visitor this year at the Faculty of Law\, teaching an intensive course on social rights. His discussion will focus on some of the central themes of his book\, Judging Social Rights (Cambridge Studies in Constitutional Law). His book offers an extended argument about why abstract social rights to housing\, education\, health care\, and social security should be part of constitutions. He argues that judges should be able to interpret and enforce social rights\, including by striking down legislation\, but should act incrementally\, taking small steps to expand the coverage of existing rules and principles in a controlled fashion. \nJeff King\, BA Hons in Phil (Ottawa) 1996\, LLB/BCL (McGill) 2002\, MSt (Oxford) 2006\, DPhil (Oxford) 2009\, is a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Laws University College London\, where he teaches public law\, human rights\, and legal and constitutional theory. He is Co-Editor of the journal Current Legal Problems. Previously\, he was a Fellow and Tutor in law at Balliol College\, and CUF Lecturer for the Faculty of Law\, University of Oxford (2008-2011)\, a Research Fellow at the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies\, Oxford (2008-2010)\, a Research Fellow and Tutor in public law at Keble College\, Oxford (2007-08)\, and an attorney at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP in New York City (2003-04). His research and teaching broadly examines doctrinal\, theoretical and empirical aspects of comparative public law. He has published articles on the justiciability of resource allocation\, judicial restraint\, complexity in adjudication\, the function of constitutions\, the value of legal accountability\, proportionality in administrative law\, odious debt in international law\, and a monograph setting out the case for constitutional social rights and a theory of adjudication in respect of them. \nFor more workshop information and a copy of the draft paper\, please contact Nadia Gulezko at n.gulezko@utoronto.ca
