About

I am a Senior Lecturer, module leader for 'International & Comparative Law' and 'International Criminal & Human Rights Law', and part of the Public Law teaching team. I am also employability and competitions lead (IBA ICC Moot, EHRMCC, ELMC), coaching a team that won the UK round of the ICC Moot in recent times.   

My research expertise and interest lie in comparative law, and in the relationship between Africa and public law / international justice. Founder of the research Globalisation and Law Group research group. 

I taught Law at City University, the University of Surrey and the University of North London. I was also visiting lecturer at the Universities of Maribor and Mikolas Romeris, and taught aspects of legal translations in the linguistics department at City University. Current  external examiner at Bournemouth University and at the University of the West of England. 

Currently undertaking a PHD in African comparative constitutional law, a judge at the International Law Jessup Moot, and a volunteer at Breaking Barriers, helping refugees. 

I recently completed a course on Constitution-Building in Africa by CEU, and was involved in a 'People's Tribunal on Crimes of Aggression: the Afghanistan Sessions' organised by Bezna as an independent legal advisor.

Research

Since 2016, I addressed the European Commission's Directorate-General for Translation, in both Luxembourg and Brussels, on the pitfalls of legal translations between different legal families, providing advice on the Commission's E-Justice Portal. I made two TV appearances on the ‘Africa This Week' programme on IC Channel (Sky 806), providing an expert commentary on two ICC Cases (the Ruto and Bemba cases), and was invited in ‘The Report' programme on IC Channel (Sky 806) to comment on a report by the Office of the Prosecutor of the ICC regarding American military activities in Afghanistan. I gave a radio interview on the Saturday morning live programme (Voice of Islam radio) about the Rohingya crisis and ethnic cleansing in Burma.  I recently presented a paper on my PHD work on Constitutional Courts in African States at the Law and Society Annual Conference and at the FARO Series 'The legal transplant of the French Conseil constitutionnel in sub-Saharan French speaking African states: a case too often of constitutions without constitutionalism'.
