Research Interests
My private law research focuses on the proper justification of private (contract and tort) law doctrines and tries to explain how our considered views about moral justification, responsibility and social justice bear on general theories of private law and on the way particular private law doctrines should be understood and applied.
My international law research focuses on the nature and the 'sources' of international law, especially on the role of normative propositions in determining what international law requires or allows. I am particularly interested in questions about the normative force of customary international practices and the character of the reasons that such practices give rise to for international agents.
