Dr James Manwaring

My research focuses on criminal law and theory.

My doctoral work focused on incapacity doctrines, such as infancy, insanity, and capacity-inflected dimensions of other defences and offence elements.

More recently I've been thinking and writing about various aspects of criminal law doctrine, including self-defence, complicity, and homicide.

I've published in the Criminal Law Review, Criminal Law and Philosophy, the Cambridge Law Journal, and the Singapore Journal of Legal Studies.

Aside from criminal law, I also teach tort law on the Tripos, and have interests in legal and moral philosophy, and law reform.

Before taking up my Fellowship at Homerton College I was a Teaching Fellow at UCL, and before that a Stipendiary Lecturer at Hertford College, Oxford.
