Professor Peter Edge from the School of Law, Oxford Brookes University, UK, is an expert in the law of small jurisdictions with a common law inheritance, particularly the Isle of Man. His doctoral work at Cambridge University concentrated on the public law of the Isle of Man, including both constitutional and criminal law, and his publications in the area seek to show how the study of Manx law can illuminate issues of broader scholarly concern (for instance, in a study of the Manx Tynwald aimed at informing reforms to the UK House of Lords). He leads the Small Jurisdiction Service at Oxford Brookes.
