Profile

I have been studying at Aberystwyth University since 2017. While at the University I have taken part in a wide collection of extra curricular activities, such as presiding over the Debating Union as well as working on the department's Veterans Legal Link project and the Family law clinic.

I have also been both the head of training and outreach at the Mooting Society and often take part in events run by them.
 

I am currently the Westlaw representative and a part time teacher within the department.  

My PHD is focused around the examination of the role of juries and magistrates in the modern legal system, exploring whether they are 'fit for purpose.'

Additional Information

As well as my work within the department I am a freelance writer and regularly author documentary-lite style productions reaching views in the hundreds of thousand.
