Biography
Jayanth Krishnan joined the Indiana University-Bloomington Maurer School of Law in 2009 as Professor of Law and the Charles L. Whistler Faculty Fellow. Prior to coming to Bloomington, he was Professor of Law at William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota where he taught courses in property, immigration, comparative law, and legislation, and where he received the "Teacher of the Year" award for the 2003-2004 academic year.
Krishnan's academic research focuses on the legal profession, the behavior of lawyers, law-and-globalization, and legal education, with a special emphasis on how these areas intersect in India. He has written extensively on these subjects and his work has appeared in both highly-reputed law reviews and peer-reviewed journals.
In addition to having a law degree from Ohio State University, Krishnan holds a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He has served as a Visiting Professor of Law at the University of Iowa's College of Law, as the British Academy Visiting Professor at the Centre for South Asian Studies at the University of Edinburgh, and as a Visiting Fellow at the Australian National University's College of Law.
