The Foundations and Future of Public Law: Essays in Honour of Paul Craig – eBook

Description

**Book Description**

Over the last four decades, public law within the EU and UK has experienced transformative shifts that have fundamentally altered its landscape. Key developments—including the evolution and membership of the European Union, the enactment of the Human Rights Act, the process of devolution, and the consolidation of public law expertise within the judiciary—have redefined the parameters of legal governance. Furthermore, the globalization of public law and the growing interactions among academia, legal practitioners, public interest entities, and legislative bodies have created a complex tapestry of public law practice and scholarship. In light of these sweeping changes, there’s been little room for comprehensive reflection on how these developments reshape the foundational aspects of public law and their interconnections.

In **The Foundations and Future of Public Law**, experts in UK and EU public law come together to fill this critical gap. Drawing inspiration from the extensive and influential scholarship of Paul Craig, Professor of English Law at Oxford University, this collection emphasizes in-depth exploration and critical analysis of six core facets of public law: legislation, theory, case law, institutions, processes, and constitutions. This multifaceted approach not only highlights the intricacies of these elements but also scrutinizes their interdependence and significance within the broader framework of public law.

Reviews

“This is a stimulating and interesting collection of essays. Possessing the potential for in-depth article-length responses to each chapter, the limited space available fails to do justice to the caliber of research, argumentative rigor, and presentation demonstrated by the authors … Paul Craig should take pride
in the commendable reactions his work has sparked in this publication.” — Patrick J Birkinshaw, Emeritus Professor of Public Law, University of Hull, Amicus Curiae

“…the ebook encompasses a diverse range of topics, yet stands apart from other edited collections due to its cohesive nature. The variety enriches rather than diminishes the overall narrative, thanks to Craig’s scholarship, which inspires a number of recurring themes that unite the individual chapters. This collection certainly meets the editorial goal of rising to the intellectual challenge posed by Craig’s work.” — Julian R Murphy, Melbourne Law School, Australian Law Journal
