Dr Joyman Lee
BA (Starred First) Cambridge, MA MPhil PhD Yale, GDL City, LLM (Dist) PhD UCL
Joyman Lee is a private law scholar whose interests focus on equity & trusts and property. As a comparative scholar, his work engages with the interactions between common law and civil law, with a particular interest in Northeast Asian jurisdictions such as Japan and Taiwan, and secondarily in Francophone legal traditions including Quebec. He is interested comparatively in real securities, succession and remedies.
A second strand of Joyman's research explores the inadequacies of modern property regimes in non-European societies, including in French-speaking Africa. He is interested in whether the discussions on property in indigenous and rural contexts in settler colonies have any bearing for the development of property law in post-colonial settings.
Joyman was raised in London, and taught at the University of Glasgow before joining ºÚÁÏÍø´óʼÇ.
