Abstract
In a typically thought-provoking essay on the significance of the recent judgment of the South African Constitutional Court in Grootboom,1 Cass R. Sunstein welcomes the contribution of this “extraordinary decision” to the international debate over the justiciability of socio-economic rights.2 In particular, he argues that the decision provides a partial answer to the objection that the judicial enforcement of such rights inevitably requires courts to assume “an unacceptable managerial role.”3 On Professor Sunstein’s reading, the Court in Grootboom successfully steers a middle course between the Scylla of complete enforceability and the Charybdis of non- justiciability. It does so by adopting what is in effect an “administrative law model of socio-economic rights,” one which reads such rights as giving courts the power to order government to “devote more resources than it otherwise would” to the regulatory problem at issue.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
