Meet Pembroke’s newest Farthing Scholar, Dane Luo
NEWS |
Having recently graduated from Wadham, Oxford with a Distinction in the Bachelor of Civil Law, Dane Luo is Pembroke’s new Farthing Scholar! The Farthing Scholarship is funded by the University and Peter Farthing, a Pembroke alumnus who read Law and later returned to College as an Advisory Fellow and full member of Governing Body.
Dane will be working alongside Professor of Public Law and Criminal Law Rebecca Williams, delivering Administrative Law tutorials to students studying the BA Jurisprudence course. He shared, “I am honoured to join the teaching team at Pembroke College.”
Earlier this year, Dane was elected to the Vinerian Scholarship Proxime Accessit and received the Law Faculty Prizes for the best exam performance in Commercial Remedies and Advanced Administrative Law. He is the first Oxford student to win the Landmark Chambers Judicial Review Moot.
In addition to his teaching responsibilities at Pembroke, Dane will be researching about public law in the British Commonwealth. He is a contributor and editor in the next edition of Zuckerman on Civil Procedure and is part of the team organising the “Ruptures and Continuities in the Westminster Model” conference at All Souls College on 29-30 November.
“Peter Farthing left a significant legacy of service at Pembroke, where he read law before a successful career in the legal profession and later on the College’s Governing Body,” Dane added. “I hope to honour his legacy by playing an active part in college life at Pembroke.”
Dane will be speaking about his research at one of our 3CR events later this term, with a talk entitled “Long Live the King, But Which One? The Divisibility of the Crown in the King’s 16 Realms”.
