Jaime is an associate professor of medical law and a tutorial fellow at Oriel College. His research interests cover a broad range of areas within medical law, family law, alternative dispute resolution, and access to justice. He adopts a socio-legal approach to research, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative methods. Jaime held an ESRC New Investigator grant from 2022 to 2025 for his project on mediation in medical treatment disputes, focusing on a therapeutic justice model.
