Biography

I worked as a commercial lawyer in Sydney and as an associate (or clerk) to two Australian federal judges (one in Sydney, one in Melbourne) before coming to Cambridge. My PhD research at Cambridge was on the interception (stopping, searching and seizing) of shipping in order to regulate such activities as drug smuggling, WMD trafficking and the management of fisheries. Since leaving Cambridge I have work as a Lecturer and Reader in Law at University College London. From April 2015 I will be an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Law, Monash University, Melbourne.
