PROFILE:
Greg Fox specializes in international law. He joined Wayne State Law School in 2002 and is now an Associate Professor of Law. Prior to joining the Wayne faculty, Professor Fox was an Assistant Professor of Law at Chapman Law School in Orange, California.

Professor Fox worked in the litigation department of Hale & Dorr in Boston and held fellowships at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and Public International Law in Heidelberg, Germany and at the Schell Center for Human Rights at Yale Law School before beginning his teaching career. From 1992-1995 he was the co-Director of the Center for International Studies at NYU Law School. He also served as a law clerk to the Honorable Alan H. Nevas of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut.

Professor Fox is the recipient of a MacArthur Foundation/Social Science Research Council Fellowship in International Peace and Security. That fellowship allowed him to write The Right to Political Participation in International Law, 17 Yale J. Int'l L. 539 (1992), which is one of the ten most cited articles ever published in the Yale Journal. Much of Professor Fox's subsequent scholarship focuses on how the world-wide spread of democracy has affected the international legal system. He is the editor (with Brad Roth) of Democratic Governance and International Law (Cambridge 2000) and has published on democratic institutions in post-conflict states and the role of the UN Security Council in promoting democracy.

Professor Fox is now finishing Humanitarian Occupation, to be published in 2005 by Cambridge University Press. This book examines "internationalized territories" such as Bosnia, Kosovo and East Timor. In these places traditional notions of state sovereignty have been turned on their head, as the international community takes on the role of a national government. The book will explore the reasons for creation of these operations and their legal justification.

Professor Fox is counsel in several international cases. He was co-counsel to the State of Eritrea in the Zuqar-Hanish Islands arbitration with the Republic of Yemen, which determined the status of a group of islands in the southern Red Sea. He is now representing a group of Eritreans who were forcibly deported from Ethiopia in 1998 and had their property confiscated by the government. The case, filed under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, is pending in US District Court in New York. Professor Fox has also served as counsel in several cases field under the Alien Tort Statute.

Professor Fox is a graduate of Bates College (BA, 1982 phi beta kappa, with highest honors) and New York University (JD, 1986).
