Aside from being a legal doctrine, ex turpi causa is also a lawyer in training with academic qualifications in both English and Scottish law.
Having read and written extensively about law from a number of social science perspectives while at university, he decided to contribute his modest amount of knowledge to Wikipedia. One of the skills that comes with this training involves being able to spot bias and partiality, which will be employed in an attempt to help ensure the neutrality of the encyclopaedia where possible.
He enjoys reading widely across the social sciences and examining competing viewpoints. As the social sciences are invaluable for helping to inform and shape the law, one cannot have an adequate understanding of the law and legal systems without some awareness of the ideas across philosophy, politics, economics and sociology.
