Tom Mullen studied law at the University of Glasgow (LLB, 1980) then at Harvard Law School (LLM, 1981). He has been successively lecturer in public law (1983-1992), senior lecturer in law (1992-2003) and professor of law (2003-) at the University of Glasgow.

Research interests

  • Constitutional law
  • Administrative law and Administrative Justice
  • Housing law
Constitutional Law

Over the last few years I have been working on the Scottish constitutional question researching issues relating to independence and devolution. I am a founder member of the Scottish Constitutional Futures Forum. Currently, I am also researching the implications of Brexit for the UK constitution and have been jointly awarded with Professor David Heald an Impact Acceleration Award, ‘Communicating Brexit's Impact on the Law, Governance and Public Finances of the UK, Devolved Nations and the Republic of Ireland.’

Administrative law and Administrative Justice

I have done extensive research on issues of administrative justice including the roles of complaints, ombudsmen, tribunals and courts in achieving justice for citizens in their dealings with government. I was a member of the Administrative Justice Steering Group (2008-2009) which published the report, 'Administrative Justice in Scotland – The Way Forward' (2009) and was until recently a member of the Scottish Tribunals and Administrative Justice Advisory Committee (appointed by the Scottish Government). I am a member of the core team of the UK Administrative Justice Institute project on building capacity in administrative justice. I am currently writing a book, 'Administrative Justice in the UK'.

Housing law

I have carried out research into many aspects of housing law including landlord and tenant law in both the social rented sector and private sector and the law of homelessness. I recently contributed three chapters to the leading work on landlord and tenant law, Rennie et al, 'Leases' (W. Green: Edinburgh, 2015).
