This is notoriously contested judicial work\, since it can require courts to beco me involved in the complex effort and detail of long-term\, systemic refor m of social policy.\n\nIn this session of the DCL Research Series\, Edward Bechard-Torres\, doctoral candidate at 91Ö±²¥â€™s Faculty of Law \, asks what objectives or ‘end-points’ courts are hoping to realize when they prod state actors to reform social programs. Understanding these end- points is important. Each one imagines a different relationship between th e underlying socio-economic rights in play and the remedies which emerge f rom the judicial process. Each end-point also implicitly relies on differe nt accounts of how judicial power can be both disciplined and legitimated\ , and how courts should relate to the political branches.\n\nAmy Preston-S amson\, a doctoral candidate at the same Faculty of Law\, will be the main discussant.\n\nThe DCL Research Series takes place several times during t he academic year. It's a platform for DCL and other scholars to share thei r research and receive feedback. All are welcome to attend!
