What is your subject and specific area of study?
My main research interest is civil procedure and dispute resolution, from both an English and cross-border perspective (there is a Cambridge course on this for third year undergraduates, to which judges and leading commentators contribute).
The following recent publications indicate the sort of topics involved. There is immense international interest in the developments of English law in these areas.
Besides this area, I am finishing a textbook on English contract law (for Cambridge UP).
