Biography

Raised in London, Joyman holds a BA (starred double first) in history from Cambridge and a PhD in history from Yale University (2013). He completed his law degrees in England (GDL, City; LLM and PhD [2022], UCL). He has been/is a visiting scholar at Sciences Po Paris, McGill University (Canada), National Taiwan University and the University of Tokyo.

Research interests

Joyman's interests focus on private law, specifically trusts and property. He is interested in the civil law tradition in Northeast Asia (Japan and Taiwan) and land law in sub-Saharan Africa.

Joyman is writing a monograph entitled The Law of Express Trusts in Japan and Taiwan: Comparisons with Common Law and Quebec, on the basis of his doctoral thesis at UCL. As he argues in a chapter contribution in Modern Studies in Property Law, Volume 12, these trusts go further than European civil law trusts by providing elaborate mechanisms for express trusts to perform their role as agreement-based institutions designed to deliver flexibility to property owners. 

Another of Joyman’s interests concerns private law in Africa, with an initial focus on land in Senegambia/Senegal.
