Research Interests

Property law, contract law, private law theory

Lance Green is a PhD candidate in law at LSE. His research investigates how personal property concepts are understood in different legal contexts. The aim of his research is to understand: (a) how and when the meaning of “personal property” varies with legal context; and (b) how these contextualised property concepts inform property theory more generally.

Prior to joining LSE, Lance worked as a judge’s clerk in the High Court of New Zealand before practising as both a solicitor and a barrister in Auckland, New Zealand. More recently, he has taught as an Associate Lecturer at Oxford Brookes University. He holds a BA/LLB (Hons) from the University of Otago and an LLM (Legal Theory) from New York University.
