Research interests
I am interested in most aspects of Constitutional Law. Particular areas of focus include separation of powers, judicial power, and federal financial relations (particularly excise duties). I am interested in representative government and democracy, particularly issues such as voting eligibility. I am most concerned to preserve and protect freedom of speech in our society.
I also have a strong interest in civil obligations, in particular tort law and the law of contract. A particular focus at present is a two-volume work on good faith in contracting environments. I have published research monographs and refereed journal articles on various aspects of tort law, including fault-based liability and vicarious liability.
I am potentially interested in supervising research in any of these areas.
