Weinrib is the author of Dimensions of Dignity: The Theory and Practice of Modern Constitutional Law (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2016). He is currently working on two major projects. The first, which is supported by a SSHRC Insight Development Grant, formulates a rights-based account of the theoretical foundations of administrative law. The second is a book entitled Rights, Limits, and Proportionality: A Short Guide for the Perplexed (under contract with Cambridge University Press). Weinrib was the 2018-2019 recipient of the Stanley Corbett Award for Teaching Excellence.
