He obtained his LLB in Law & French at Trinity College Dublin, and his LLM and DCL degrees at McGill University. His interest in legal theory in general, and legal pluralist theory in particular, has informed his studies of property law regimes within Indigenous communities, education law in secondary schools, theory and practice in legal education, and everyday life in L’Arche, a community serving persons with intellectual disabilities. His work has appeared in several edited collections, as well as the Canadian Legal Education Annual Review, the Education and Law Journal, the Alberta Law Review, and the European Journal of Legal Studies.
