معرفی
Nick Piška is a Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Kent’s Kent Law School and an Honorary Researcher. He co-founded the Equity & Trusts Research Network (2012), which challenges traditional legal frameworks by emphasizing equity’s political, economic, and ethical dimensions. His work spans equity and trusts law, legal history, and critical theories of private law. He has published extensively, including a 2024 edited volume on critical trusts law and guest-edited special issues of Pólemos: Journal of Law, Literature and Culture (2016–2017). His current book project examines equity’s role in modern legal and societal structures, particularly its contributions to capitalism’s legal architecture.
Research interests include the transformation of injunctive relief as a governance tool, equitable subjectivity, and the laws of succession. Before joining Kent, he taught at the London School of Economics (2005–2009) and worked at the Law Commission’s Property, Family, and Trust Law Team (2006–2009).
Teaching focuses on Property and Land Law, Inheritance and Succession, and Equity and Trusts at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. He supervises research projects aligned with his critical legal studies and equity-focused themes.
Publications highlight critical engagements with equity’s historical and contemporary applications, including analyses of landmark cases like Stack v Dowden and Jones v Kernott. His edited works and special journal issues reflect a commitment to interdisciplinary legal critique.
