Administrative Justice

Our research cuts across multiple policy areas, including immigration, social security, housing, local government, and national security. It examines a variety of processes, including judicial review, administrative decision-making, tribunals, and internal review.

Addressing contemporary social and policy issues by developing both theoretical and empirical understanding, our members have worked closely with legislatures, government departments, local government, courts, the legal profession, industry and civil society organisations.

Our overarching aims are to:

• Establish York Law School as an internationally recognised centre for administrative justice research
• Consolidate and build the administrative justice research community at the University of York, including by developing early career researchers
• Provide a space which fosters the development of innovative administrative justice research and cultivates research agendas, within the Law School, the University, and the wider field
• Be a resource for wider policy and practice communities seeking to engage with and develop administrative justice research

We'll be focusing on three areas:

• Street-level administrative decision-making
• Digital administrative justice
• The citizen’s perspective
