Research

My recent research has been on justice in Wales and how justice is managed within a single legal jurisdiction that has two legislatures and governments. Although justice is largely a reserved matter, aspects of justice intersect the list of reserved competencies. This can be seen clearly through administrative justice where the Welsh Government has responsibilities for forms of administrative justice such as devolved tribunals, Welsh Commissioners and the Ombudsman.

I have been involved in the following projects as a co-investigator exploring the implications of this divide:
