Sergio Giuliano

I was born in San Juan, Argentina, and studied law in Buenos Aires at Universidad de San Andrés where I later taught Constitutional Rights and Interpretation of the Law. I also hold a Master of Laws degree from Yale Law School where I focused on comparative constitutional law and human rights. I worked for three years in Congress as legal advisor to two subsequent Minority Leaders and I clerked for a year at the European Court of Human Rights for the Vice-President of the Court, András Sajó. It was in Congress where I realized I wanted to specialize separately in law and public policy, since I noticed the existing gap between these two fields in practice; a gap that is particularly important in Argentina where political institutions have been ineffective in reversing self-perpetuating conditions of structural inequality. At Oxford, I intend to acquire the necessary tools and skills to explore ways in which courts can successfully be part of public policy development and implementation, without causing regressive redistribution through the inappropriate allocation of scarce resources.
