Robert J. Jackson, Jr. is Associate Professor of Law, Milton Handler Fellow, and Co-Director of the Ira M. Millstein Center for Global Markets and Corporate Ownership at Columbia Law School, where his research emphasizes empirical study of executive compensation and corporate governance matters. Before joining the faculty in 2010, Professor Jackson served as an advisor to senior officials at the Department of the Treasury and in the Office of the Special Master for TARP Executive Compensation. Before that, Professor Jackson practiced in the Executive Compensation Department of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen and Katz.

His most recent projects include the first empirical study of incentives throughout the managerial hierarchy of a large investment bank (Stock Unloading and Banker Incentives, 112 Colum. L. Rev. 951 (2012)) and the first comprehensive study of CEO pay in firms owned by private equity (Private Equity and Executive Compensation, 60 U.C.L.A. L. Rev. 638 (2013)). Professor Jackson has also written about corporate spending on politics (Corporate Political Speech: Who Decides?, 124 Harv. L. Rev. 83 (2010) (with Lucian A.

Isaak Meier

Professor at the University of Zurich for Civil Procedure, Insolvency law and Mediation 

One of the goals of my sabbatical in Oxford is to understand the English civil procedural law, especially the procedure for the average claims that the County Courts deal with most. I have already been to the University of Innsbruck to study the civil procedural law of Austria. After my stay in Oxford, I will be going to Germany for the same purpose, for a shorter period of time. My main goal would be to compare the Swiss, English, German and Austrian laws and hopefully to find the basic structure of modern Civil Procedure. I will not only be studying law books but also the law in practice. I am therefore also very interested in Judicial Statistics in these countries and I will be attending cases at the County Court.

Professor Stephen Meili

Academic Visitor at the Faculty of Law 

Professor Meili will be conducting research on the impact of international human rights treaties on refugee jurisprudence and practice in the U.K. His work at Oxford is part of a larger project which involves a similar analysis of human rights law in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S. Current Faculty of Law members with whom I have previously consulted about this project are Mary Bosworth, Cathryn Costello, Sandra Fredman, Guy Goodwin-Gill and Liora Lazarus. I would be very interested in discussing my project, as well as related issues, with any Faculty members interested in the areas of human rights, immigration law, public international law and the legal profession.

Mr John Eekelaar 

Michel Tison

Professor, Financial Law Institute, Ghent University 

Research on the evolutions regarding retail investor protection in the post financial crisis era. The research will identify to what extent current regulatory developments in the European Union and in individual Member States modifiy the foundations of existing regulation, which is largely based on an ‘information paradigm’. The role of financial supervisors under this approach is mainly confined to assessing the quality of the information provided to investors. We investigate whether the trend to provide to financial regulators more intrusive powers to protect investors at the level of financial product design and distribution leads to a fundamental paradigm switch, which departs from the information paradigm in (retail) investor protection.
