Waldron also holds an adjunct professorship at [[Victoria University of Wellington]]. ==Early life and education== Waldron studied at the [[University of Otago]], New Zealand, where he graduated with a [[Bachelor of Arts|B.A.]] in 1974 and an [[Bachelor of Laws|LL.B.]] in 1978. He later studied for a D.Phil. at the [[University of Oxford]] under legal philosopher [[Ronald Dworkin]] and political theorist [[Alan Ryan]]; Waldron graduated in 1986. ==Career== He also taught legal and political philosophy at [[University of Otago|Otago]] (1975–78), [[Lincoln College, Oxford]] (1980–82), the [[University of Edinburgh]], [[Scotland]] (1983–87), the Jurisprudence and Social Policy Program at [[Boalt Hall School of Law]] at [[UC Berkeley|Berkeley]] (1986–96), [[Princeton University]] (1996–97), and [[Columbia Law School]] (1997–2006). He has also been a visiting professor at [[Cornell University|Cornell]] (1989–90), [[University of Otago|Otago]] (1991–92) and [[Columbia University|Columbia]] (1995) Universities. Waldron gave the second series of Seeley Lectures at [[University of Cambridge|Cambridge University]] in 1996, the 1999 Carlyle Lectures at [[Oxford University|Oxford]], the spring 2000 University Lecture at [[Columbia University|Columbia Law School]], the Wesson Lectures at [[Stanford University]] in 2004, and the Storrs Lectures at [[Yale Law School]] in 2007.

In 2005, Waldron received an honorary doctorate from the University of Otago, his [[alma mater]]. ==Legal and philosophical views== Waldron is a [[liberalism|liberal]] and a [[Norm (sociology)|normative]] [[legal positivism|legal positivist]]. He has written extensively on the analysis and justification of private property and on the political and legal philosophy of [[John Locke]]. He is an outspoken opponent of [[judicial review]] and of [[torture]], both of which he believes to be in tension with democratic principles. He believes that [[hate speech]] should not be protected by the [[First Amendment to the United States Constitution|First Amendment]].<ref>[http://www.ushmm.org/museum/exhibit/focus/antisemitism/voices/transcript/?content=20120802 ''Voices on Antisemitism'' Interview with Jeremy Waldron] from the [[United States Holocaust Memorial Museum|U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum]]</ref> Waldron has also criticized analytic [[legal philosophy]] for its failure to engage with the questions addressed by [[political theory]]. ===Criticism of judicial review=== A staunch defender of the principle of democratic legislation, Waldron has argued for a limited role for judicial review in a robust democratic government. <ref>Jeremy Waldron, "The Core of the Case against Judicial Review," 115 Yale Law Review 1346 (2006).</ref> Waldron asserts that there is no inherent advantage to a judiciary's protection of rights than to a legislature's if (1) there is a broadly democratic political system with appropriate suffrage and process,<ref>Id. at 3161</ref>(2) there is a system of courts somewhat insulated from popular pressure and engaged in judicial review,<ref>Id. at 1363</ref> there is a general commitment to rights,<ref> Id. at 1366.</ref> and there is disagreement as to the content and extent of rights.<ref> Id. at 1367.</ref> Even so, Waldron does not argue against the existence of judicial review, which may be appropriate when there is institutional dysfunction. In this case, the defense of judicial review compatible with democracy is limited to remedies for that dysfunction and are neither unlimited nor universal. Thus Walrdon places his view of judicial review in the tradition of Justice Harlan Fiske Stone.<ref>Id at 1403, citing United States v.
