Full text: WWW || SSRN
(This essay will appear in volume 1 of Constitutional Court Review, a new South African annual devoted to discussion of the prior year's work of the Constitutional Court of that country. The essay undertakes close examination and analysis of two of the Court's 2007 decisions - and also engages with some recent Court-watching debates in South Africa - from a hybrid, insider/outsider perspective. A main focus is on problems and puzzles arising from the South African system's widely-noted commitment to exposing the country's law governing private legal relations (including common law) to thorough and continuing re-examination for harmoniousness with the Bill of Rights ("horizontal application"); and, further, from the combination of that commitment with the country's historic and continuing reliance on common-law revision (along with legislation) for law reform in the field of defining criminal conduct. Topics more-than-incidentally treated include retrospective/prospective of judicially declared "new" criminal law, the idea of objective unconstitutionality (a kind of "overbreadth" doctrine), sex discrimination under the Constitution, and the debate over judicial minimalism and interbranch relations)

The article explores the question of how, if at all, to reconcile the apparent absence of socioeconomic commitments from American constitutional law with claims that sound moral reasons argue in favor of such commitments. It will appear in I.CON vol. 6 issue 3 (2008), and the full text can currently be found at I.CON' s advanced access page, http://icon.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/reprint/mon013.)
