MsJie Hu

I am a Permanent Lecturer in the Faculty of Law at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), where I teach Advocacy, Criminal Law and Procedure. My academic work is informed by almost 14 years of professional experience practising exclusively in criminal law.

I hold a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Technology Sydney and a Master of Laws from the University of Sydney. I am an Accredited Specialist in Criminal Law, recognised by the Law Society of New South Wales, and a Partner at Vox Legal, a criminal defence law firm. I have also taught Criminal Law at the University of New South Wales (UNSW).

My legal practice encompasses a broad range of criminal matters, with particular experience in serious and complex criminal litigation. I have extensive advocacy experience across all levels of the NSW court system, including the Local, District and Supreme Courts.

My teaching interests include courtroom advocacy, criminal law, criminal procedure and the practical operation of the criminal justice system.

My approach to legal education is informed by the relationship between legal principles and their application in practice. I aim to develop students' understanding of the law while encouraging them to think critically about how it operates in practice and its broader implications for the administration of criminal justice.

I draw on my experience in criminal litigation and courtroom advocacy to connect the theoretical foundations of criminal law with the practical realities of criminal proceedings.

I am fluent in English and Mandarin Chinese.
