Dr Grant Hooper is a Lecturer in Law and Associate Dean (Professional Law Programs) at the University of Sydney Law School. With over two decades of experience as a solicitor, including time as co-managing partner at Phillips Fox Lawyers (which later became part of DLA Piper), he brings substantial practical legal experience to his academic role.
Dr Hooper holds a BEc LLB (Hons) from Macquarie University, an LLM from Sydney University, and a PhD from UNSW. His doctoral research focused on administrative law, with his thesis titled "Parliament v The High Court? Natural justice, codification and the Australian Migration Act." Prior to joining the University of Sydney, he taught at the University of New South Wales, Macquarie University, and Western Sydney University.
His research centers on Administrative Law, Migration Law, Public Law, and Tort Law, with particular focus on judicial review, the relationship between parliament and the courts, and the evolution of legal principles from historical foundations like the Magna Carta to contemporary Australian jurisprudence. His scholarly work examines the tension between codification of legal processes and judicial oversight, the role of proportionality in administrative decision-making, and the expanding influence of the judiciary in Australian governance.
Dr Hooper's publications reveal a consistent exploration of how administrative law principles have evolved in Australia, particularly examining the balance between legislative frameworks and judicial interpretation. His work often bridges historical legal development with contemporary challenges in migration, border protection, and government accountability.
