Dr David Tan

David Tan is a Lecturer in Deakin Law School and specialises in analytic legal philosophy. His main research areas are in linguistic approaches to legal interpretation and constitutional theory. David has previously taught at Monash University and in the international students support program at the University of Tasmania. 

His approach to legal issues is very much informed by his background in both law and philosophy. Philosophy isn’t just limited abstract questions but has interesting things to say regarding legal concepts that everyday lawyers face such as legal interpretation and causation.
