Welcome to my website!
My name is Martin Jarrett. I originally hail from Australia, although I now live and work in Hong Kong.
My professional qualification is Solicitor and Barrister (New South Wales, Australia). Regarding my educational qualifications, I hold a Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of Laws (with first class honours) (both from the University of Newcastle, Australia), a Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice (College of Law, Sydney), and a Doctor of Laws (summa cum laude) (University of Mannheim).
I am currently an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Law, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. My teaching covers contracts and trusts, and I teach the advanced-level courses Issues in Contract and Issues in Equity and Trusts.
I have worked as an external lecturer at various universities, including the University of Frankfurt, the University of Heidelberg, the University of New South Wales, and the University of Western Australia, where I am also an Honorary Fellow. I previously worked as a Senior Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law, and now hold the post of Senior Research Affiliate. Before that, I was a Senior Lecturer at the University of Mannheim, a position that encompassed research and teaching responsibilities for a compulsory course and various elective courses.
My research interests primarily lie in international investment law, although I have also written on comparative tort law, commercial arbitration, law of state responsibility, and legal reasoning. For more details on my research profile, please refer to my publications and speaking engagements.
Over time, I will continuously add content to this website, particularly uploading my teaching materials, videos explaining my research, and links to my open-access publications. Moreover, it will serve as a platform that I will use to promote my research with the aim of bringing it to the attention of a wider audience.
