If the sceptics are wrong and our routine legal interpretations reflect what is legally the case, it’s not because they reflect, or have given weight, to any literally specified proposition.

Lecturer and Director of Undergraduate Admissions
I teach Jurisprudence, Tort Law and Administrative Law.
My research is focussed on the nature of legal rules and appellate court decision-making. I’m particularly interested in the use of general analytic philosophy to solve problems in the philosophy of law. I’m happy to supervise research touching on these areas.
Area of Expertise
- theories of meaning in jurisprudence
- the nature of common law appellate court reasoning
