About Simon

Having completed school, Simon explored his strong interest in public policy through work at both State (WA) and Commonwealth government levels. This equipped Simon with a strong understanding of policy development from a political/governmental perspective appreciating the various drivers and processes that lead to, and ultimately influence, legislative change. Simon was fortunate to work with and meet some of the most respected leaders in government, business and community pressure groups. In 2010, Simon commenced a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) at the University of Western Australia (UWA). Simon graduated in March 2013 with first class honours.
Simon is interested in public and private law aspects of shipping. He completed his undergraduate thesis on maritime cargo arbitration and recently submitted his MPhil dissertation, which considered the role of private maritime salvage law in preventing catastrophic marine pollution. Simon’s goal is to teach international law, with a focus on the law of the sea. He also hopes to make a contribution to policy development, through bodies such as the International Maritime Organization in London.

About the lesson

I approach each topic by providing an overview and then by working through problem questions and sample essay questions with students looking at how to approach answering questions, identifying issues and how to best analyse them given the court content. Through this process I work with students to identify course components that require more in-depth tuition and help students plan, through examples, how they would approach supervisions, tutorials, assignments and exams.
