Bio
Thomas D. Grant is an academic and practicing lawyer working chiefly in the fields of public international law and international dispute settlement. He has acted as counsel, assistant-to-counsel, or advisor in a range of international matters, including inter-State cases at the International Court of Justice, before PCA tribunals, and before other ad hoc dispute settlement organs; investor-State cases before BIT tribunals; and commercial cases before ICC tribunals. Grant is the author of three academic monographs in print; and two book-length manuscripts currently in progress. The works in progress address, respectively, aggression against Ukraine in 2014; and the emergence of non-State actors in international law during the era of the League of Nations. Grant's articles have appeared in over a dozen international law journals. He currently is co-editing the second edition of Banks and Financial Crime: the International Law of Tainted Money (Oxford, anticipated 2015); and co-authoring Arbitration: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford, anticipated 2015). Grant holds a BA (summa cum laude) from Harvard, JD from Yale, and PhD (as a Fulbright scholar) from Cambridge. He has held research fellowships at Oxford, Cambridge, Heidelberg, the U.S. Institute of Peace, and Stanford. He is admitted to the bar in Massachusetts, New York and Washington, DC. The Royal Society of Arts elected him a Fellow in 2014 (FRSA). He currently holds a Senior research fellowship at Wolfson College, Cambridge; and is a visiting professor of the Catholic University of Lille.
