Aside from being a legal doctrine, ex turpi causa is also a lawyer/consultant in training with academic qualifications in 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 modicum of knowledge to Wikipedia. One of the skills that comes with a legal education involves a keen eye for spotting 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 considering what are often 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 wealth of ideas across philosophy, politics, economics and sociology.
