Adrian Briggs
Professor of Private International Law
Adrian Briggs is a Fellow and Tutor at St Edmund Hall and has been teaching in Oxford since 1980. His main interest is in the conflict of laws, and within that, in questions of civil jurisdiction and the recognition of foreign judgments. He is an assistant editor of Dicey & Morris (14th edn. 2006, and supplements), and has chambers in the Temple from which he is able to remind himself that although it is one thing to persuade oneself that the law is clear and explicable, it is quite another to persuade a court.
