How can I click on this element using XPATH in WebDriver with Java?

Question

Here is the HTML:

<li>
<input type="checkbox" checked="" name="selectedMstrPrivGroupList[9].mstrAuthorities[0].status"/>
Add Dexter
</li>

How could this element be clicked in WebDriver? It is a check box. And I want to use XPath as I have close to 30+ check boxes in the page. So that I can create a generic method and pass only the WebElement. I tried the following but didn't work.

Driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[contains(.,'Add Dexter')]")).click();

If the checkbox next to "Add Dexter" is what you want to click on the page, you can use:

Driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li[contains(.,'Add Dexter')]//input[@type='checkbox']")).click();
