Dr Paulina Wilson

School of Law

My research focusses on comparative law in the context of cross-border law practice and cross-cultural legal communication. I am particularly interested in conceptual micro-comparisons in the areas of tort and criminal law, and the impact of interjurisdictional substantive law variation on global law practice, including judicial cooperation, foreign law as evidence, and both professional and legal-lay communication.

I am also interested in linguistic aspects of substantive tort and criminal law provisions, their interpretation and application by the Courts.
