Biography
Robin graduated from the University of Oxford in 2001, and in September of that year began a PhD at Queen's. He was appointed to a lectureship in law at Queen's in September 2003. Robin's main research interest is in the law of personal property, focusing on the history and evolution of property concepts in the common law, and how those concepts interact with associated rules of crime and obligations. He has recently explored these themes in the monograph Property and the Law of Finders, which considers the legal rights and obligations of finders in England and related jurisdictions.
Robin also has general interests in legal theory and history. He serves on the editorial board of the journal Jurisprudence (Hart Publishing) and the publications committee of the Irish Legal History Society. He has spent time as a visiting scholar at Harvard Law School, and is an International Research Visitor at the Melbourne Law School. His current research projects include a comparative paper on value pluralism in land registration statutes (with Dr Matthew Harding, Melbourne Law School) and work for the AHRC funded project Slavery as the Powers Attaching to the Right of Ownership.
