Biography

Dr. Alexander Fischer is a Lecturer at SOAS : “My research focuses on the role of discretion and procedure in Indian trials under antiterrorism legislation. What is the role and input of a variety of actors in framing an issue asa matter of criminal law or a matter of national security? What are the effects, from a legal point of view? How is the stage set early on for a trial to follow a very distinct procedural path? ” Book Review: Daniel P. Marston & Chandar S.
