Research

Overview

My doctoral research was in Legal History looking at judicial practice in national and regional courts during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and exploring judicial understanding of the concept of justice and ways in which such concepts impacted upon court practice.

My wider research interests include judicial and political attitudes across history and normative and procedural issues in criminal law and evidence as well as the court system generally.
