He is known for challenging constitutional orthodoxy in the United Kingdom, particularly in his redefinition of the scope of parliamentary sovereignty.[2] Education and career[edit] Allan was educated at St Albans School and Worcester College, Oxford, where he received a MA in Jurisprudence and a BCL. He also holds a LLD from Cambridge University. He was called to the London Bar at Middle Temple in 1970. He was a lecturer in Law at the University of Nottingham between 1980 and 1985, and joined the University of Cambridge in 1989. He was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 2016.[3][4] His books include Constitutional Justice: A Liberal Theory of the Rule of Law (OUP), Law, Liberty, and Justice: The Legal Foundations of British Constitutionalism (Clarendon Paperback), and the Sovereignty of Law: Freedom, Constitution, and Common Law (OUP).[5] Constitutional theory[edit] Allan's view is that the rule of law occupies a superior position to parliamentary sovereignty in the constitutional hierarchy. He develops this view in The Sovereignty of Law: Freedom, Constitution and Common Law.[6] References[edit] ^ "Allan, Prof. Trevor Robert Seaward, (born 9 May 1955), Professor of Jurisprudence and Public Law, University of Cambridge, since 2003; Fellow, Pembroke College, Cambridge, since 1985 | WHO'S WHO & WHO WAS WHO". www.ukwhoswho.com. doi:10.1093/ww/9780199540884.001.0001/ww-9780199540884-e-287796.
