Mr. Stephen Clear | Learning & Development | Research Excellence Award

Director of Postgraduate Taught Programmes (Law) and Lecturer in Constitutional and Administrative Law | The University of  Bangor University | United Kingdom

Mr. Stephen Clear is a public law scholar whose work spans constitutional law, administrative justice, human rights, devolution, and public procurement. His research explores how legal frameworks shape democratic accountability, judicial oversight, and the evolving relationship between citizens and the state. A strong focus of his scholarship has been on the constitutional implications of major political developments such as Brexit, devolution reforms, and the modernisation of public administration across the UK. His published work includes analyses of judicial review trends, empirical evaluations of public procurement disputes, and assessments of the resilience of the UK’s constitutional arrangements. Clear has contributed significantly to understanding how small and medium-sized enterprises engage with public procurement systems, proposing policy reforms to enhance transparency, accessibility, and decision-making. His research has also addressed legal education, including students’ expectations, mooting pedagogies, and the internationalisation of legal study. As a contributor to public-facing legal commentary, he has written extensively on constitutional debates, human rights protections, judicial diversity, and political accountability. His commentary has been widely circulated through national and international media outlets, supporting better public understanding of legal issues. Clear’s commitment to bridging theory and practice is reflected in his presentation of research at major academic conferences and to professional, governmental, and international audiences. His work continues to contribute to contemporary discussions of constitutional reform, public law adjudication, and the development of inclusive, future-focused legal education.
