Dimitrios Giannoulopoulos

Inaugural Professor, and Head of the Department of Law, at Goldsmiths University of London. Dimitrios has leading expertise in how human rights norms on criminal justice are applied in national jurisdictions across different legal cultures, and has published widely on suspects’ rights, evidence obtained in violation of the right to privacy and the application of ECHR jurisprudence in the domestic criminal process. His monograph on Improperly Obtained Evidence in Anglo-American and Continental Law (Oxford, Hart Publishing, 2019) offers an extensive cosmopolitan insight into the ‘exclusionary rule’ debate, taking multiple systems of law – domestic, transnational, international – as key points of reference, to expose connections (and discordance) beyond the conventional common law and civil law divide. His co-edited volume (with Prof Yvonne McDermott Rees) on Challenges to Judicial Independence in Times of Crisis is forthcoming in 2022 as part of the prestigious Proceedings of the British Academy series.
