DrLuciana Moro

Luciana Moro is a Lecturer at Deakin Law School. She has a PhD from University College London (UCL) and a Magister Juris (MJur) from the University of Oxford, where she was a Chevening and Weidenfeld-Hoffmann scholar. Her undergraduate degree in law is from Torcuato Di Tella University, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Luciana’s main interests are in legal interpretation, public law, legal theory, and criminal law and procedure. Her work has been published in the Modern Law Review. Her doctoral research was funded by a scholarship from UCL’s Faculty of Law. Her thesis defended the legitimacy of rulings in which UK courts adopt an ‘updating’ approach to the interpretation of statutes because they presume that Parliament normally intends this (a presumption often known as the ‘always speaking’ principle).

Luciana’s prior academic positions include roles at UCL and Torcuato Di Tella. She also worked as law clerk at Argentina’s National Public Ministry and as researcher at human rights NGOs.
