Graduate Student, School of Law
Thesis Title: Preserving the Rule of Law in Times of Emergency: Critical Perspectives on Legal and Political Controls
About
I hold a B.C.L. and a first class honours LL.M (Criminology and Criminal Justice) from UCD. I held the UCD School of Law Doctoral Scholarship from 2009-2011 to conduct my research and in 2011 I was awarded an IRCHSS government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship to complete my PhD.
My thesis investigates legal and political controls on states' emergency powers. I am interested not merely in the efficacy of these controls but in the theoretical implications of utilising just political controls and leaving the assessment of the existence of a state of emergency in the hands of politicians and beyond the legal sphere. I have presented my research at UCC, UCD, and Columbia Law School and I have work published in the Northern Ireland Legal Quarterly, German Law Journal and the Irish Jurist.
I have tutored constitutional law and Tort and I was the UCD School of Law Research Student Representative for 2010-2011.
I was an editorial assistant on the Irish Jurist and I have guest edited a special edition of the German Law Journal containing papers presented the UCD School of Law PhD workshop on Human Rights. I am currently Assistant to the Editorial Board of the SLS journal: Legal Studies.
In January 2012 I will undertake a Visiting Researcher position at Columbia Law School, New York. My work there will focus on the main theoretical components of my thesis. I received an IRCHSS New Ideas Award to facilitate this.
