CV / Biography

I am particularly interested in how and why legal rules develop. My research has been on how the borderline between tort and crime has changed in different jurisdictions in the last few hundred years. So far this work has been procedural: taking a rule of practice that links tort and crime, tracing and explaining its evolution and then exploring how it can deepen understanding of wider questions of legal reasoning and legal systems.
