Teaching and Learning
My teaching interests include regulation, contract and commercial law. In all my teaching, I try to emphasise how legal rules can be used to regulate people’s behaviour. I am strong believer of interdisciplinary studies of law. I take an innovative approach to designing teaching sessions, which is intended to take account of the different ways that our students learn.
The modules I teach are:
| Undergraduate | Postgraduate and MA |
|---|---|
| Commercial Law II: Social and Economic Contexts of Regulation (Convenor) | International Sale of Goods: Law and Practice (Convenor) |
| Law of Contract | |
| Commercial Law I: Sale of Goods |
Research Interests
