Liam Davis

Liam Davis serves as a Fellow in Medical Law at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) Law School, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses including Medical Law (LL205), Family Law (LL221), and Key Issues in Medical Law and Ethics (LL4EB) since September 2024. His academic career follows doctoral research at the University of Bristol and prior teaching experience at Bristol Law School.

His educational qualifications include:

• LLB and LLM in Medical Law and Ethics with Human Rights Law from the University of Kent
• PhD from the University of Bristol examining birth registration reform for non-traditional families

Davis's research critically examines medical and family law through queer and abolitionist theoretical frameworks, with concentrated expertise in legal parenthood, assisted reproduction regulation, and birth registration systems for LGBTQ+ families. His work interrogates the concept of a 'right' to know one's genetic origins while advocating for structural reforms accommodating diverse family formations.

His publication record reveals consistent scholarly engagement with evolving legal frameworks governing reproduction and identity, demonstrating increasing focus on altruism discourse in organ donation and surrogacy contexts. These contributions advance bioethical debates while challenging traditional legal paradigms through intersectional analysis of queer and trans experiences.

No scientific awards were documented in available sources.

Davis secured £9,564 in research funding from the Institute of Medical Ethics for collaborative work with Dr. Bonnie Venter (University of Bristol) investigating altruism in organ donation and surrogacy. His teaching portfolio spans medical law, family law, and tort law across multiple institutions, reflecting sustained commitment to legal education in specialized domains.
