Catherine Rogers is a scholar of international arbitration and professional ethics. Her scholarship focuses on the convergence of the public and private in international adjudication, and on the reconceptualization of the attorney as a global actor. Professor Rogers has taught, lectured and published extensively on these topics around the world, including as an invited participant at two Stanford-Yale Junior Faculty Fora.
Professor Rogers is an Associate Reporter for the American Law Institute’s new Restatement of the Law (Third) of International Commercial Arbitration. Professor Rogers has served as a member of the American Society of International Law Task Force on Global Legal Ethics, as a member of the International Bar Association’s Task Force on Ethics in International Arbitration, as an expert consultant to ARIAS-US in developing standards and training materials for reinsurance arbitrators, and as a peer reviewer for several foreign and international law reviews. She is a member of the CPR International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution, a member of the Academic Council for the Institute of Transnational Arbitration, an associate editor for Transnational Dispute Management Journal, and an legal expert on the selection and regulation of international investment arbitrators for the 16th Freedom of Investment Roundtable for the OECD. In addition, Professor Rogers is engaged in several ongoing capacity-building initiatives in conjunction with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) of Palestine, the ICC Israel, and the Jerusalem Arbitration Center to enable Palestinian parties and legal professionals to participate effectively in international arbitration.
Before entering academia, Professor Rogers practiced international litigation and arbitration in New York, Hong Kong, and San Francisco. Professor Rogers was formerly on the law faculties of Università Commerciale Luigi Bocconi in Milan, Italy, and Louisiana State University Law Center.
At Penn State Law, Professor Rogers teaches International Arbitration and Professional Responsibility.
Professor Rogers is on research leave from Penn State for the 2011-12 academic year, and based in London.
