Biography
Eloise Scotford joined King’s as Lecturer in September 2010.

Dr Scotford obtained the University Medal in Law in her undergraduate degree at the University of Sydney.

Research
Dr Scotford’s research concerns environmental law, in UK law, EU law, and Australian law. In particular, she writes on the comparative legal treatment of environmental principles, waste law, and air quality and climate change regulation. At the core of this research is an inquiry into the nature of the law that applies to environmental problems as a body of legal doctrine – through mapping the subject (on its own terms and in relation to other legal subjects), critically analysing its rapid evolution and identifying questions of legal controversy and novelty.
