Elena Tudosie

Elena Tudosie combines a strong academic legal background with market-place practical hands-on experience of the Legal Services industry. 

Elena is currently a PhD Researcher in Law at the Open University School of Law, having previously lectured at undergraduate and postgraduate levels at the University of Bedfordshire and the School of Economics and Law. As an accomplished member of Toastmasters International, Elena is the immediate past president of Bedford Speakers where she has been a member since 2013.

Elena’s current research into ‘The “Right” to Die with “Dignity”’ involves an examination of jurisdiction attitudes and legislation on assisted suicide with particular focus on Oregon (USA) and Canada, as well as the changing landscape of the law on assisted suicide in England and Wales.

Elena’s considerable legal sector experience has taught her that these issues cannot be viewed only from an academic viewpoint of theory, but are heavily influenced by practical socio-political and legal considerations dictating political and social policy, which frequently impact upon each other.

Other Information

Elena has viewed several high-profile cases which have received significant media attention within recent years and uses her numerous law industry contacts to good effect and gain invaluable insight into pertinent case law while it is being made.

Over the years, Elena has also built up a significant network of contacts within the UK and European legal community, as well as within political circles, which can assist in analysis and primary research enabling her to ‘think outside the box’.

As to outside interests, Elena says, ‘If I could indulge my obsessive interest in juicing, but in several European languages simultaneously, while speed walking or keeping fit in some other way with people I like, that must be a perfect day!’
