Andrea Bjorklund Acting Professor of Law University of California Davis, School of Law Davis, CA

Education:

• M.A., in French Studies, New York University, 1988
• J.D., Yale Law School, 1994

Bio:

Andrea K. Bjorklund is an Acting Professor at the University of California, Davis, School of Law. She teaches courses in international arbitration and litigation, international trade, conflict of laws, and contracts. Before starting at Davis, she spent two years as a Bigelow Fellow and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago Law School. From 1999-2001, Ms. Bjorklund was an attorney-adviser in the Office of the Legal Adviser at the U.S. Department of State, where she defended the United States in investor-State arbitrations brought under Chapter Eleven of the North American Free Trade Agreement.. Ms. Bjorklund has also served as Senior Counsel to Commissioner Thelma J. Askey at the U.S. International Trade Commission, and has worked in the international group at Miller & Chevalier, Chartered, in Washington, D.C. She received her J.D. from Yale Law School and clerked for Judge Sam J. Ervin, III, on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.

She recently published Reconciling State Sovereignty and Investor Protection in Denial of Justice Claims, 45 VA j. Int'l L.809, Investment DISPUTES UNDER NAFTA CHAPTER 11 (with Meg Kinnear and John Hannaford), and The Continuing Appeal of Annulment: Lessons from Amco Asia and CME, to the collection INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT LAW AND ARBITRATION: LEADING CASES FROM THE ICSID, NAFTA, BILATERAL TREATIES, AND CUSTOMARY INTERNATIONAL LAW (T.J. Weiler, ed 2005).

She says, "Traditionally, international law has been divided into two realms: the public and the private. This dichotomy is breaking down as governments grant greater rights to private individuals, while at the same time increasing their regulatory powers over private international transactions. Recognizing both the private and public aspects of international transaction is an essential skill for today’s lawyers."
