The principal focus of my research is on the use of information technology in legal practice, particularly the phenomenon of ‘rules as code’. I am also involved in the development of the International Future of Law Association. In 2021, I led a project examining the establishment of the Judicial Council in Ireland, and videos from two seminars that we organised are available online.

I manage the website on the application of information and communications technology for environmental regulation at http://ict4er.org. I was also part of the development of the AI4People project’s ‘7 AI Global Frameworks‘.

In addition to my research, I also work on a project to teach legal writing online to Irish law students. As part of this project, we have also published a textbook, “How to Think, Write and Cite”, which is in its second edition.
