Biography
Originally, I studied law at the University of Reading (2010-3), where I graduated first in my year. Afterwards, I completed a Master’s degree at University College London (2013-4), where I received a Distinction. I then took the Bar finals as an Exhibitioner and Duke of Edinburgh Scholar of the Inner Temple; I was called to the Bar in 2015. During the Bar course I held a Teaching Fellowship at UCL, where I taught Public Law.
I am primarily interested in constitutional and administrative law and theory. My research at Cambridge focuses on a union of the two: I am examining the extent to which the United Kingdom needs a codified bill of rights when one looks at the independently existing place of rights in the constitution. More broadly, I am interested in tackling traditional doctrinal issues in public law with a theoretical approach.
Other academic interests
Though my thesis is relatively specialised I am interested in administrative law (particularly judicial review) broadly conceived. Likewise, I am interested in a wide range of issues in jurisprudence, including political morality and the philosophical foundations of criminal and tort law.
