Brooke Marshall

Dr Brooke Marshall is a multilingual academic lawyer and writer, with more than a decade of experience in Comparative Law and Private International Law. Her work explores how different legal systems respond to challenges confronting people when they work, transact, migrate, litigate, or fall in love across borders. Brooke’s current research projects examine the intersections between private international law and other fields, including migration, employment, civil procedure, IP, insurance, the law of treaties, and assisted reproduction.

She is an Associate Professor in Oxford’s Faculty of Law and a Tutorial Fellow of St Edmund Hall. In the Faculty, Dr Marshall teaches Conflict of Laws in the BCL graduate course. She co-leads the undergraduate and graduate teaching program in Law, as a Tutorial Fellow at St Edmund Hall. In that role, she is responsible for teaching English Contract Law and Roman Law, in which we find the historical and comparative roots of modern private law. Dr Marshall serves on the Management Committee of the Faculty’s Institute for European and Comparative Law (IECL) and as a trustee of St Edmund Hall.

Brooke is the author of ‘Asymmetric Jurisdiction Clauses’, published by Oxford University Press in 2023, and of academic articles and policy submissions. She holds a Dr iur (summa cum laude) from the University of Hamburg, a MA from the University of Oxford, and a BA/ LLB (Hons) from The University of Queensland. Brooke speaks French fluently, German proficiently, and Spanish like a five-year-old.
