This is (more accurately, will be) the personal website of Lindsay Stirton. I am Professor of Public Law at the University of Sussex, and this site will mostly be concerned with my research and teaching. For now you can check out my Google Citations page for information about my research.

I recently co-edited a book looking back on the development of judicial review over the last (more than) 50 years, centred on four seminal cases in the 1960s, and how they set the pattern for later developments. You can buy Executive Decision-Making and the Courts from Hart Publishing (look out for sales and special offers). We (the editors) have donated our royalties to the Public Law Project.

During Lockdown, I started a YouTube channel which features introductory videos about public law. If you are a beginning law student, or perhaps an A-Level politics student, you may find some of them interesting and/or helpful.

If you want to contact me about my work you can email me at [email protected].

I am also a Liberal Democrat Town Councillor in Seaford, representing the Seaford South Ward. If you want to get in touch with me about my work as a councillor, you can e-mail me at [email protected].

In my spare time I enjoy running, cycling, and hanging out with my family. Here is a picture of me having completed the London Marathon in 2023.
