I’ve been teaching at Melbourne Law School since 2012, and before that at the University of Wollongong, University of Technology Sydney and Macquarie University. I’ve taught a lot of different subjects during that time, including Legal Theory, Legal Ethics and Criminal Law. But since 2015, I’ve mostly taught Evidence and Procedure: an amazing course originally designed by Jeremy Gans centered around the case of State v Peterson, as featured in Jean Xavier de Lestrade’s documentary The Staircase and its recent dramatisation starring Colin Firth and Toni Colette. The materials for these courses aren’t mine to share… though do email if you’re interested. But below I’ve gathered the syllabuses for the courses I’ve designed myself, and which more closely track my research interests.
