University of Connecticut School of Law. Born in Chicago in 1947,
he is a graduate of Princeton (A.B. 1969), Oxford (B.A. 1972) where
he was a Rhodes scholar, and Harvard (J.D. 1977). He served as a
U.S. naval officer (1972-75), and practiced international corporate
and financial law with Sullivan & Cromwell in New York and Paris
(1977-80). He first joined the faculty at Connecticut in 1980.
He was for four years (1993-97) a member of the law faculty of the
University of Oxford in England where he was Reader in Law, Fellow
of Exeter College, and Director of Graduate Legal Studies
(Research
Degrees). He is the author of three widely-adopted law school

Cases and Commentary on International Law (West 3rd edn 2006), and
European Human Rights Law (OUP 3rd edn 2008). He has also published
more than 50 articles on international law.
"A welcome addition to the canon of international law scholarship.
Libraries and researchers alike will find the footnotes alone make
America and the Law of Nations 1776-1939
worth adding to their collections."-AAAL Spectrum
"Janis's important new book reminds us that an effective law of
nations requires a commitment on the part of idealistic men and
women who have the will and energy to resolve the problems and
overcome the challenges."
--John F. Murphy, Villanova University
The American Journal of International Law
