This book presents an argument for why, under the right conditions, doing so can be a good way to advance social justice. In making such a case, the author considers the nature of the social minimum, the role of courts among other institutions, the empirical record of judicial impact, and the role of constitutional text. He argues, however, that when enforcing such rights, judges ought to adopt a theory of judicial restraint structured around four principles: democratic legitimacy, polycentricity, expertise and flexibility. These four principles, when taken collectively, commend an incrementalist approach to adjudication. The book combines theoretical, doctrinal, empirical and comparative analysis, and is written to be accessible to lawyers, social scientists, political theorists and human rights advocates. 410 0$aCambridge studies in constitutional law ;$v3. 606 $aSocial rights$zUnited States 606 $aJudicial power$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aConstitutional law$zUnited States 606 $aPolitical questions and judicial power$zUnited States 606 $aSocial justice$zUnited States 606 $aSocial rights$xPhilosophy 615 0$aSocial rights 615 0$aJudicial power$xSocial aspects 615 0$aConstitutional law 615 0$aPolitical questions and judicial power 615 0$aSocial justice 615 0$aSocial rights$xPhilosophy. 676 $a342.08/5 686 $aLAW018000$2bisacsh 700 $aKing$b Jeff$f1973-$0618615 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822375403321 996 $aJudging social rights$91071505 997 $aUNINA
