Mr Marc Rhys Johnson

Currently, I am the module leader for Constitutional Law, Administrative Law and Human Rights, Tort Law, and Medical Law and Ethics.

​​Generally, my research concerns: the state’s use of power against the individual; the creation, applicability, and status of law; and the theory of law and law making. These topics cross the fields of public law, legal theory, and the philosophy of law.

In addition to this, I also have an interest in the use of philosophy to develop critical reflection in law and legal education.
