A
Little About Me ...
I hail from Toronto originally, but have not
lived there for many years. From 1997 through 2001 I lived in Brisbane, Australia,
where I was a Lecturer in the School of Law
at the University of Queensland. I was an
Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Law
at the University of Alberta from July
2001 until July 2003.
I moved to Queen's University in 2003. I am an Associate
Professor in the Faculty of Law and I am
cross-appointed to the Department
of Philosophy.
My partner
Suzanne and I have a daughter, Charlotte Emma, born
in Brisbane on 28 March 2000, and a son, Sam William, born in
Edmonton on August 18, 2002.
My usual
teaching subjects are Contract
Law, the Law of Remedies, and Private Law Theory. I earned my Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Sydney in 2005. My dissertation,
entitled "Promising and Promissory Obligations," was supervised by
Dr. Duncan Ivison and examined by T.M. Scanlon (Harvard), D.W. Owens
(Sheffield) and R. Benitez (Sydney).
I earned an
LL.M. from the University of Toronto in
1995, an LL.B. from Osgoode Hall Law
School in 1994 and, prior to that, a B.Sc.in Mathematics from the
University of Toronto.
