About

I'm a Senior Lecturer in Law and specialise in teaching public law, human rights, and crime. I specialise in constitutional law, civil liberties and human rights. I look at individual rights and how the state engages in those rights. Students are given clients to understand the legality and engagement of the state in such areas.  

I help run the internal and external mooting competitions. 

I am currently researching for a PhD in the legal issues associated to end of life decisions. 

Visiting Professor Brno University.
