Sarah Green
CUF Lecturer
Sarah Green graduated from Balliol with a first class degree in Jurisprudence before going on to gain an Msc from the Said Business School the following year. She then worked for Accenture as an IT and Management Consultant in London and Dublin before returning to academic life. Having worked at the University of Birmingham for a number of years, Sarah joined the Oxford Law Faculty in September 2010, as a fellow of St Hilda's College. Sarah's research currently focuses on the interface between tort and property, with a particular emphasis on the actions dealing with wrongful interference with assets, and on the law's treatment of intangibles. She has also worked on the tort of negligence and, more specifically, the causal element of the negligence inquiry and her work in this area has been cited by both the High Court and the House of Lords. Sarah has recently published The Tort of Conversion (Hart Publishing, 2009) with John Randall QC, the first major work on the subject in English law. She has published various articles on aspects of tort and sale of goods in a wide range of journals, including the Conveyancer and Property Lawyer, Journal of Business Law, Law Quarterly Review, Lloyds Maritime and Commercial Law Quarterly, Medical Law Review and Modern Law Review. In terms of teaching, Sarah's principal interests lie in Torts, Property, Contract, Domestic and International Sale of Goods and Advanced Obligations, reflecting her research interests in the fields of private law and commercial law.
