Kacper Kryk

Kacper is a DPhil Candidate in administrative law at Magdalen College. He read law at Corpus Christi College, Oxford and Paris-Panthéon-Assas (BA Law with French Law, First Class), winning a number of prizes, including the Martin Wronker Prize for Best Overall Performance in Jurisprudence and the Slaughter and May Prize for Best Overall Performance in Law Moderations. He obtained the BCL with Distinction as the Fountain Court Scholar at Magdalen College, Oxford.

Kacper’s DPhil thesis, supervised by Dr Joanna Bell, examines how judges reason about legal questions relating to allocations of scarce resources by public bodies, focussing in particular on the role played by courts in constituting the public administration. Beyond English administrative law, his interests include civil rights and EU law. 

Prior to joining the Faculty as a DPhil Candidate, Kacper was a trainee with Judge Kowalik-Bańczyk at the European Court of Justice, working on regulatory and competition matters, as well as a Bonavero Fellow at the AIRE Centre in London, where he worked in immigration, with a particular focus on modern slavery and the NRM. He was also Research Assistant on projects on discrimination law, to Dr Shreya Atrey, and on the legal history of free movement of people between Europe and Britain, to Ms Nuala Mole. As an undergraduate, Kacper won multiple prizes for mooting, including the Best Written Pleadings Prize at the HSF Competition Law Moot Court.
