Dr. Lewis Graham will present and discuss findings from his new monograph, Judicial Individuality on the UK Supreme Court. He will attempt to answer three questions: (i) whether it is possible to observe and ‘capture’ judicial attitudes on the UK Supreme Court, and if so, what methods ought to be adopted to do this; (ii) whether the judges on the Court approach human rights law differently; (iii) whether (and why) the Court has become more conservative over time.

About the Speaker:

Dr. Lewis Graham’s research focuses mainly on public and administrative law, including human rights law and the law of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). He is also interested in judicial behaviour and has published a number of empirical works on judicial decision-making in different contexts. He completed his PhD at the University of Cambridge and has spent the previous three years teaching at Wadham College, Oxford. His monograph, Judicial Individuality on the UK Supreme Court, has been published by Hart this year and two edited collections considering the jurisprudence of the UK Supreme Court will be published in due course.
