Alexander Georgiou is a Prize Fellow at All Souls College, University of Oxford. He has broad research interests across the laws of contract, tort, trusts, and unjust enrichment. He is particularly interested in the remedial aspects of private law, as well as the intersection of linguistics and law, and wider questions of moral and political philosophy in the context of the law and civil justice systems.
Alex read for the BA in Jurisprudence (2014-2017) at Brasenose College, Oxford, for which he received the Martin Wronker Prize for the best performance in his final examinations. Following his undergraduate studies, he returned to Brasenose to read for the Bachelor of Civil Law (2018-2019), before moving to All Souls College in 2019 for his doctoral research.
