Patrick Reumer is a Junior Assistant Professor at the Willem Pompe Institute for Criminal Law and Criminology, Utrecht University School of Law, where he has taught since November 2020. His responsibilities include instructing core courses such as Introduction to Criminal Law, Substantive Criminal Law, Penal Sanctions, and Civil Law in Perspective: Criminal Law and Private Law, while also supervising bachelor theses and coordinating the Legal Consultation for Detainees (JSG) initiative.
Reumer completed his Dutch Law degree at Radboud University Nijmegen (2013-2020), specializing in criminal law with a health law focus and civil law with intellectual property emphasis. Prior to Utrecht, he gained practical teaching experience as a junior lecturer in criminal procedural law at Radboud University for six months.
His research centers on the intersection of criminal law, health law, and human rights, particularly regarding end-of-life decisions in custodial settings. Since 2023, he has conducted doctoral research on euthanasia in custody (scheduled through 2029), examining legal-ethical conflicts between penitentiary regulations, medical ethics, and detainees' rights. Additional expertise spans criminal procedure, substantive criminal law, private law, and intellectual property.
Reumer's recent publications reveal a trend toward addressing emerging legal dilemmas at technology-health-criminal justice intersections. His 2023 case note analyzes euthanasia requests by detainees under Dutch penal law, while his 2022 co-authored article investigates biometric evidence admissibility in digital forensics, reflecting his interdisciplinary approach to contemporary criminal procedure challenges.
