Magdalena Clemo-Raczynska's research activity

Magda joined Anglia Law School in 2012 having previously taught and studied at the University of East Anglia. Before turning to law, Magda first started studying Maths and Natural Sciences at the University of Warsaw. She later studied Polish Law (University of Lodz), French Law (University of Tours), English Law (University of East Anglia) and Comparative Private Law (Maastricht University, as an Erasmus student, and Strasbourg University). During her Law studies she was an intern at Allen & Overy in Warsaw and worked at barristers' chambers in Lodz.

Her academic legal interests focus on security interests in property and expand to aspects of commercial law, property law, restitution, commercial, finance and comparative law. She is currently working on her doctorate on security interests in proceeds, products and fruits. Magda is also involved in the work of the Secured Transactions Law Reform Project as a research assistant to one of the project working groups. The project has been established under the Executive Directorship of Professor Sir Roy Goode under the guidance of a Steering Committee originally chaired by Lord Bingham of Cornhill, and now by Lord Saville of Newdigate. Its membership includes judges, practitioners, academics and representatives of various branches of the 'security industry' - banks, financiers and borrowers.

Magda has attended and presented her research at a number of national and international conferences, including, for example, 'The Worlds of the Trust' conference (September 2010) at McGill University Canada, International Property Law Conference (October 2010) in Pretoria, South Africa and Society of Legal Scholars annual conference (September 2010). Her publications include a paper in Nordic Journal of Commercial Law on Vienna Sales Convention, a case comment in Shipping and Trade Law and a co-authored chapter on Polish law in a loose-leaf commentary 'International Secured Transactions' (2008, 2010 OUP Oceana). Her contribution to 'Parallels between the civilian separate patrimony, real subrogation and the idea of property in a trust fund' is scheduled for publication as a chapter in a book (CUP).

She teaches at both undergraduate (trusts law, commercial law, contract law) and postgraduate level (international commercial law, international sales law). She has also been repeatedly invited to give lectures on English Property Law to members of the German judiciary at the Deutsche Richterakademie (German Judicial Academy) in Trier.
