Biography
I have written on criminal, family and medical law. I focus on how the law interacts with the important things in life: not money, companies or insurance; but love, friendship and intimacy. In my work I seek to develop ways the law can recognise and value the goods in activities such as carework and sex, while protecting people from the harms that so often result. I draw particularly on feminist ethic of care and relational theory in developing my thinking.
Family Law I have written a popular textbook in this subject and edited several books on theoretical issues in family law. I have discussed domestic abuse, children’s rights and the nature of marriage. I am a member of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority and an editor of the Child and Family Law Quarterly.
Medical Law I have written a leading textbook on this subject. I am particularly interested in the regulation of pregnancy; legal responses to depression; and issues around mental capacity.
Criminal Law I have produced two best-selling textbooks on criminal law and have researched the law on sexual offences.
Elder Law I have written a leading monograph on the law’s treatment of older people and edited a collection of essays on issues surrounding dementia.
Care Law My book, Caring and the Law, explores the law’s treatment of caring and how adopting an ethic of care could transform the law.
Law and Vulnerability Vulnerable Adults and the Law explores the nature of human vulnerability and its relevance to the law. In Vulnerability, Childhood and the Law I have explored the law's conception of childhood vulneariblity.
Current projects My current projects include an co-edited collection on disability and family law (with Bev Clough); a book on sexual offences with Michelle Madden Dempsey; co-authorering with Imogen Goold a book Debating Autonomy; co-authoring with Shazia Choudhry a book on human rights and domestic abuse; co-editing with Camilla Pickles a book on obstetric violence; a book exploring the relevance to the law of the relational self; and a book considering how law might respond to life course theory.

The latter has tended to focus mainly on family life in young and middle age; and, indeed, the issues of childhood and parenting are key in many family law texts. Family life for older members has, then, been largely neglected; addressing this neglect, the current volume explores how the issues which might be important for younger people are not necessarily the same as those for older people. The significance of family, the nature of family life, and the understanding of self in terms of one’s relationships, tend to change over the life course. For example, the state may play an increasing role in the lives of older people – as access to services, involvement in work and the community, the ability to live independently, and to form or maintain caring relationships, are all impacted by law and policy. This collection therefore challenges the standard models of family life and family law that have been developed within a child/parent-centred paradigm, and which may require rethinking in the turn to family life in old age. Interdisciplinary in its scope and orientation, this book will appeal not just to academic family lawyers and students interested in issues around family law, ageing, gender, and care; but also to sociologists and ethicists working in these areas.Charles Foster and J J W Herring, Human Thriving and the Law (Springer 2018) J J W Herring and Imogen Goold, Medical Law and Ethics: Great Debates (2nd edn Plagrave 2018) J J W Herring, 'Ageing, love and family law' in Beverley Clough and Jonathan Herring (eds), Ageing, Gender and Family Law (Routledge 2018) Charles Foster and J J W Herring, 'Author meets critics: Identity, Personhood and the Law' (2018) 44 Journal of Medical Ethics 69 Michael Dunn, Ashok Handa, J J W Herring and K.W.M.

While it accepts that people can cause their own ill health, it argues that NHS staff are not in a position to determine the extent to which a person can be said to have contributed to their ill health in a blameworthy way. Further, that ill health is often a result of multiple causes, and it is unfair to isolate the patient to bear the costs. The article concludes by promoting a vision of relational health whereby we recognize our responsibilities to produce healthy communities and relationships.J J W Herring, 'The Vulnerability of God and Humanity' (2018) 180 Law and Justice 5 C.
