Dr Jeremy Robson is an Associate Professor in Law at De Montfort University Law School. Jeremy practised at the Bar from 2000- 2010 before entering academia. He was a member of the criminal team at KCH (as it then was) during that time.

In 2022, Jeremy completed his PhD ‘The Judge as Bricoleur: Bricolage in decision-making in the Criminal Justice System.’

Jeremy’s research examines the barriers to justice which traditional rules of evidence create. He specialises in interdisciplinary research working with psychologists, linguists, phoneticians and criminologists. In 2019, Jeremy was part of a multidisciplinary team who received funding from the ESRC to develop a new procedure for police voice identification parades. His work on voice identification evidence has been widely cited nationally and internationally. He is currently working on a project to examine accent discrimination as an obstacle to social mobility in the legal profession.

Jeremy is also experienced in postgraduate legal education and advocacy training. Whilst at Nottingham Trent University, he developed Europe’s first LLM in Advocacy Skills, a bespoke programme commissioned by the Attorney General of Malaysia. He also established and was director of the Centre for Advocacy as well as launching the International Advocacy Teaching Conference.
