Evan Fox-Decent teaches and publishes in legal theory, political theory, administrative law, immigration and refugee law, fiduciary law, and international law.  In 2012, Professor Fox-Decent's book, Sovereignty’s Promise: The State as Fiduciary, was shortlisted by the Canadian Political Science Association for its tenth C.B. Macpherson Prize for best book published in English or French related to political theory.  He is currently working on two monographs: The Fiduciary Constitution of International Law (with Evan Criddle) and Law's Legitimacy: The Legal and Political Philosophy of Thomas Hobbes.  Professor Fox-Decent is happy to supervise students working on legal theory, issues at the intersection of legal theory and political theory or philosophy, or early modern legal history. 

A light lunch will be served.

 

 

The Legal Theory Workshop is not open to the general public. We welcome individuals affiliated with the Faculty of Law and closely related departments, including political science, philosophy, criminology, history and the Centre for Ethics.
