Just been working with a survey which indicates how few UK universities teaching some form of comparative law include sessions on methodology. Tendency to teach "Comparative and international perspectives on ..." without thinking what that actually entails. Hopefully more positive in Finland.

Delighted to speak at the Pathways to Justice workshop at University of Technology Sydney discussing the non-implementation of IICSA reforms to state-based redress in England and Wales and UK case-law following BXB. An excellent forum for discussion and to engage in comparative insights.

Should there be a non-delegable duty to prevent institutional child sexual abuse? My latest blog discusses a case going to the High Court of Australia in August on this point in the light of the HCA's 2024 ruling in Bird: legalresearch.blogs.bris.ac.uk/2025/07/comp...

Students studying abroad as part of their degree do struggle with obtaining visas often arriving late as a result. If we want to increase student opportunities, this would be a great step forward.
