Barnali Choudhury
Assistant Professor of Law

Professor Barnali Choudhury, who recently has served as a research consultant with the World Trade Institute in Bern, Switzerland, joined the Charleston School of Law in the fall of 2006 as an international law professor.

"The law school is indeed lucky to have Professor Choudhury to join its faculty," former Dean Richard Gershon said in 2006. "Her international experience in coordinating and conducting research between international trade and human rights will extend the breadth of the law school tremendously."

Choudhury, who received her master's of law degree at Columbia University School of Law and a bachelor's in law at Queen's University in Canada, has been a practicing attorney since 2002. She also has a bachelor's in commerce from McMaster University in Canada. At Columbia, Choudhury was the Harlan Fiske Stone Scholar and LL.M. staff editor of the Columbia Journal of Transnational Law.

Prior to her work in Bern, she was an associate at law firms in Toronto, Canada, where she practiced corporate litigation, international trade law and investment arbitration. 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 teaches business association and international business transactions. She has previously taught at the University of Bern and University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand.
