Current Debates on Judicial Review and Democracy
Thursday, October 31, 2019 | 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Furman Hall, 330
245 Sullivan Street New York, NY 10012
Professors Jeremy Waldron and Roberto Gargarella, two leading scholars on legal theory, will explore current debates about the problematic relationship between judicial review and democracy, and its connection with the protection of human rights in an unequal world. They will examine the evolution of these discussions in legal academia over the last decades and how legal theory scholars have shaped their positions over time. Special attention will be given to the role of the courts in different countries such as Colombia and South Africa.
Jeremy Waldron teaches law and philosophy at New York University. Until recently, he was also Chichele Professor of Social and Political Theory at Oxford University (All Souls College). He studied law and philosophy at University of Otago and pursued his D. Phil. in legal philosophy at Oxford University, under the supervision of Ronald Dworkin. Professor Waldron is one of the most active critics of judicial review.
Roberto Gargarella is Professor of Law at Universidad de Buenos Aires and at Universidad Torcuato Di Tella. He studied law and sociology at Universidad de Buenos, where he also obtained his first doctoral degree in law. He holds a J.S.D from University of Chicago, as well as an LL.M. from that university and another master's degree from FLACSO. His scholarship focuses on dialogic constitutionalism, Latin American constitutionalism and human rights.
The dialogue will include references to the following articles:
Jeremy Waldron, The Core of the Case Against Judicial Review, 115 Yale L.J. 1346 (2006);
Jeremy Waldron, Judicial Review and Political Legitimacy (2017), unpublished manuscript presented in Bogotá;
Roberto Gargarella, We the People Outside of the Constitution: The Dialogic Model of Constitutionalism and the System of Checks and Balances, 67 (1) Current Legal Problems 1 (2014);
Roberto Gargarella, Why do we care about dialogue, in Katharine G. Young, ed., The Future of Social and Economic Rights, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 212 (2019).
Reading these materials is not required to participate in the activity.
The event will take place in Furman Hall, Room 330.
Sponsored by the Latinx Law Students Association.
