Teemu Ruskola Professor of Law Contracts, Corporations, Comparative Law, Legal History, Legal Theory
Upon graduating from Yale Law School, Teemu Ruskola was an associate at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, working in the firm’s New York and Hong Kong offices. Thereafter, Ruskola completed a master’s degree in East Asian Studies at Stanford University, where his research focused on the history of commercial regulation in China. Prior to joining the Emory Law faculty in 2007, Ruskola was Professor of Law at American University in Washington, D.C. He has been a visiting professor at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University and at Cornell Law School, and served as a sabbatical visitor at Columbia Law School. Professor Ruskola is the recipient of several fellowships and awards, including the Law and Public Affairs Fellowship at Princeton University and the Charles A. Ryskamp Research Fellowship with the American Council of Learned Societies. Professor Ruskola's scholarship addresses questions of legal theory from multiple perspectives, frequently with China as a vantage point. His publications – appearing in the Michigan Law Review, the Stanford Law Review, and the Yale Law Journal, among other places – explore the intersection of corporate and family law in China, “legal Orientalism,” and the history and politics of Euro-American conceptions of sovereignty in the Asia-Pacific. He is currently working on a book entitled, China, For Example: China and the Making of Modern International Law, which examines the history of the introduction of Western international law into China, and the implications of that process for the theory and politics of international law. Professor Ruskola is a member of the Executive Committee of the American Society of Comparative Law and of the Board of Editors of the American Journal of Comparative Law, as well as a former Chair of the Comparative Law Section of the Association of American Law Schools. Professor of Law. A.B., Stanford University, 1990; Inter-University Program for Chinese Language Studies, Taipei, 1992; J.D., Yale Law School, 1995; A.M., Stanford University, 1999.
