Universities
I taught full postgraduate courses at Oxford and Cambridge universities and lectured at more than 80 universities around the world.
Apart from UK universities, the foreign universities I have lectured at include, for example, Bangalore, Bologna, Buenos Aires, Cologne, Copenhagen, Duke, Félix Houphouët Boigny Abidjan, Harvard, Hyderabad, Indonesia, Jodhpur, Indonesia, Istanbul, Kolkata, Lagos, Makerere Uganda, Malaya, Michigan, Nairobi, New York, Padua, Paris-Assas, Peking, Pennsylvania, Philippines, Singapore, Stockholm, Sydney, Taras Schevchenko National Kyiv, Tsinghua, Vanderbilt, Virginia, Witwatersrand, Yangon Myanmar, Zambia, and Zurich.
Between 2009 and 2017, I developed and conducted the World Universities Comparative Law Project comprising the top universities in about 70 countries and being probably one of the largest student programmes of its kind.
My mind is in the practice of law and my soul in academia. My heart is in writing about the law as simply as possible to explain it to myself and then to others.
Survival Codes
World Law and the Future of Humanity
My latest book is entitled “Survival Codes: World Law and the Future of Humanity,” published in 2025. I believe that this is my most important book by far.
Survival Codes explains that the world's laws are the largest and most comprehensive codes of conduct for survival that humanity has - and what is at stake as that system comes under strain. Written for readers in every discipline, it offers a rare, accessible overview of global law and asks whether our legal structures are strong enough to prevent catastrophe.
The book is obtainable from Amazon and all good bookshops, priced at £35.
Available from Blackwells, Amazon, Browns, Foyles, Hatchards, Hive, TG Jones, Waterstones, leading law bookshop Wildys, and others. ISBN 9781919318837
