FIRST INTERNATIONAL LAW CHAIR ANNOUNCED
Gregory Shaffer, JD, a renowned scholar and an expert in the areas of international trade law and global governance, has been named the School of Law’s first Wing-Tat Lee Chair in International Law.
“Greg’s decision to join us at Loyola is very exciting,” says Dean David Yellen. “He’s precisely the type of scholar and teacher we hoped to attract to this key position.”
The chair honors the generosity of Wing-Tat Lee, a Hong Kong businessman who provided the funds for the endowment. In addition to researching, teaching, and publishing in the area of international law, Shaffer will plan and develop international programs and conferences at the law school, facilitate international law student and faculty exchanges, and expand collaboration between the law school and the community.
Shaffer was previously a law professor, director of the European Union Center, and co-director of the Center on World Affairs at the University of Wisconsin Law School.
