Description
Lord Sumption and the Limits of the Law explores the nature and limits of the judicial role and its implications for human rights protection and democracy. The book is based on a lecture by Lord Sumption, which sets the stage for a wide-ranging discussion of key issues, including the scope and legitimacy of judicial law-making and the interpretation of the European Convention on Human Rights.
The contributors to the book reflect on the responses to Lord Sumption's lecture, offering insights into the ongoing significance and legitimacy of the European Court of Human Rights. This thought-provoking volume is a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate about the role of the judiciary in modern society.
Written by leading public law scholars, Lord Sumption and the Limits of the Law is a timely and important work that will be of interest to anyone concerned with the relationship between law, politics, and human rights.
