Alexandra Carter is the director of the Edson Queiroz Foundation Mediation Program, director of Clinical Programs, and a Clinical Professor of Law at Columbia Law School. Carter won the Jane Marks Murphy Prize for clinical advocacy while a student at Columbia Law School and has become a strong advocate of mediation as a valuable tool for many kinds of legal challenges. Through the New York Peace Institute, a nonprofit that specializes in mediation, Carter has served as a mediator. She has also supervised student mediations in court-related programs at New York City Civil Court and Harlem Small Claims Court.

Before joining Columbia Law School, Carter was at Cravath, Swaine & Moore, where she served on a team defending against a multibillion-dollar securities class-action lawsuit related to Enron. She also served as the senior antitrust associate on several multibillion-dollar mergers and worked on cases involving copyright law.

She spent a year in Taiwan from 1997 to 1998 on a Fulbright scholarship, where she researched Taiwan's contemporary literature to assess the political tensions at the time between those who wanted the island to assert independence and those who favored reunification with the Republic of China. She worked as a private equity analyst with Goldman Sachs in New York from 1998 to 2000. She then enrolled at the Law School, where she took the mediation clinic, and later worked as a teaching assistant in the clinic under Professor Carol Liebman.

Carter clerked for the Honorable Mark L. Wolf of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts in Boston before joining Cravath, Swaine & Moore.

Carter received her J.D. from the Law School in 2003, where she was articles editor for the Journal of Transnational Law and won the Lawrence S. Greenbaum Prize for best oral argument in the 2002 Harlan Fiske Stone Moot Court Competition. She earned her B.A. at Georgetown University in 1997.

Colin Hawes is Associate Professor and Director of Courses in the UTS Law Faculty. He also serves on the management committee of the Australia China Relations Institute.

Dr. Hawes joined the UTS Law Faculty in 2005 after practising law in Vancouver, Canada. He has published numerous articles on Chinese corporate governance and Chinese law and society in international journals such as Law & Society Review and the American Journal of Comparative Law. His second book, The Chinese Transformation of Corporate Culture (Routledge Press 2012) traces the emergence of a uniquely Chinese hybrid corporate form that combines economic, social and political ends. A Japanese edition of the book was published by Chuo University Press in 2015. 

Colin strongly believes in the value of internationalizing legal education. He has been invited by leading international universities to teach corporate law or to conduct research as a visiting professor, including Oxford University (UK), China University of Politics & Law (Beijing), South-Western University of Politics & Law (Chongqing), University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University (Canada), and National Taiwan University in Taipei.

Colin has also advised Chinese and international business executives and corporations on cross-cultural legal issues and minimizing the risks of cross-border legal disputes.

Colin is interested in the intersection between corporations, law and culture: how cultural values impact on the way that corporations behave in different societies, and how multinational business corporations can be held accountable for their actions. He is currently engaged in collaborative research projects on the creative interpretation of corporate law by Chinese judges, and on the offshore governance structures of large Chinese corporations.

Jianlin grew up in Singapore and Taiwan. He obtained his LLB from National University of Singapore, and his LLM and JSD from the University of Chicago. He is qualified to practice in Singapore and New York. He joined the Melbourne Law School in July 2017 after starting his academic career at the University of Hong Kong in 2011.

Bilingual in English and Chinese, Jianlin publishes widely, with a monograph from Cambridge University Press, and in law journals such as Columbia Journal of Asian Law, Law & Social Inquiry, Oxford Journal of Law and Religion, 公司法评论, 北大法律评论, among many others. His primarily research interests are in the areas of natural resources law and property law, with a particular focus in emerging natural resources (e.g., wind, sunlight, atmospheric moisture) and through a combination of comparative perspectives and economic analysis.

Together with other previous and current research projects that traverse diverse subject matters (e.g., law& religion, corporate law, government procurement, securities regulations, culture war, tax law), his underlying research agenda is to develop an overarching theoretical inquiry that 1) explores how the different forms of state actions—ranging from law, regulation, tax, state ownership, public contract, government speech—have surprisingly similar capacity and propensity (or the lack thereof) to achieve public interest objectives; and 2) critically evaluates the prevailing approach of prescribing distinct legal constraints and normative considerations for each category of state interventions.
