Dreaming Transnational Law

Department of Law public lecture


Ralf Michaels is professor of Law at Duke Law. He is an expert in comparative law and conflict of laws. His current research focuses mainly on three issues: the role of domestic courts in globalization, the potential of conflict of laws as a theory of global legal fragmentation, and the status and relevance of non-state law. He is the editor or co-editor of two special volumes of the American Journal of Comparative Law ("Beyond the State ? Rethinking Private Law," 2008, also published as a book with Mohr/Siebeck; and "Legal Origins," 2009), as well as a book and a journal issue on conflict of laws ("Conflict of Laws in a Globalized World", Cambridge Univ. Press, 2007; and Transdisciplinary Conflicts, Law & Contemp. Probs. 2008). In addition, he has authored numerous articles and lectured widely on all three topics.

Michaels studied law at the Universities of Passau and Cambridge, U.K. While at Duke, he has been a visiting professor at the Universities of Panthéon/Assas (Paris 2), Princeton, Pennsylvania, and Toronto; he has also held senior research fellowships at Harvard and Princeton, as well as the American Academy in Berlin and the Max Planck Institute for Private Law in Hamburg.
