About me
I graduated from Stockholm University in 2020 with a degree of Master of Laws. I have thereafter been working as a law clerk and junior judge at the Gothenburg district court of law. I am, since the fall of 2022, working on a comparative PhD-project regarding immoral contracts at Stockholm University.
Teaching
I currently teach law students in private law and comparative law. I also teach contract law to students at the actuarial mathematics programme.
Research
The aim of my project is to acquire knowledge of the similarities and differences in the way the legal systems of Poland, Spain, and Sweden handle immoral contracts by identifying so-called legal formants. Thus, the main research question is: How does the Polish, Spanish, and Swedish legal systems handle contracts that conflict with public interests, constitutional values or moral principles?
