the World Trade Institute in Bern, Switzerland, will join the
Charleston School of Law in the fall as an international law professor,
Gershon said.
"The law school is indeed lucky to have Professor Choudhury
to join its faculty," he said. "Her international experience
in coordinating and conducting research between international
trade and human rights will extend the breadth of the law school
tremendously. We look forward to having her in Charleston this
fall."

Transnational Law.
Prior to her work in Bern, she was an associate at law firms
in Toronto, Canada, where she practiced corporate and insolvency
litigation, international trade law, investment law and general
commercial litigation. During this period in 2004, she also served
as a law clerk to the ICC International Court of Arbitration in
Paris, France.
Widely published in legal journals, Choudhury brings a variety
of teaching experiences to Charleston, where she will teach international
law, international business transactions and torts. She has been
a guest lecturer at the Europe Institute at the University of
Basel, a lecturer at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand,
