Biography

Dr Sara Razai joined the Bingham Centre for the Rule of Law in 2020 as a Research Fellow for the the research project Special Processes for the Reassessment and Removal of Judges in the Context of Constitutional Transitions   funded by the UK AHRC. An expert in empirical research on the judiciary, her research has fed into policy-making and she has provided different actors and stakeholders with policy recommendations and programmatic responses at national and international levels.

Dr Razai holds a PhD in Law from UCL Laws. Her current research examines the role of law and judges in countries with complex historical experiences (such as colonialism, struggles for independence and socio-economic marginalisation).

In addition to her research, Dr Razai is the International Projects Lead at BIICL and is working closely with the Director toward expanding BIICL's presence internationally. She also holds senior research memberships at UCL Judicial Institute and the Paris-based Institut d'Études sur le Droit et la Justice dans les Sociétés Arabes.
