Mr Jamie Fellows ~ Lecturer

I lecture in Administrative Law and Legal/ Professional Ethics at James Cook University in Townsville. Other subjects I teach within the law degree deal with a variety of legal topics such as: Australian legal history, sovereignty, colonisation, international law, human rights, governance, parliamentary systems, legal personality, fiduciary obligations, and property.

My research interests intersect a range of public law and ethical topics involving Administrative Law, legal and professional ethics, war crimes, criminal law and international law. 

I have had extensive industry and professional experience in Australia and North-East Asia where I have held several roles in finance and commercial property. Prior to entering academia I worked as a compliance analyst with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission in Sydney and later as a director with CB Richard Ellis in Tokyo where I was responsible for corporate compliance, acquisition/ disposition of foreign assets and commercial leasing. In Tokyo I was an active member of the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan and the Australia/NZ Chamber of Commerce in Japan. 

I hold undergraduate and postgraduate degrees from:  JCU (LLB Hons; BA), University of Sydney (MA), ANU (Grad Dip Legal Practice) and UNSW (Grad Dip Ed).

I am currently completing a PhD in law at James Cook University.
