Comparative Private Law Scholar Philipp Schlüter Joins Elisabeth Haub School of Law at ҹ Faculty
The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at ҹ is pleased to announce that Professor Philipp Schlüter will join its full-time faculty as Assistant Professor of Law. Professor Schlüter brings an outstanding international and comparative perspective to the Law School. He will teach Commercial Law (Sales), Contracts, Civil Procedure, and Remedies.
Professor Schlüter’s scholarship spans the core fields of private law—including contract, tort, property, and unjust enrichment—as well as civil procedure, remedies, and bankruptcy. Across these areas, his research examines the relationship between legal form and substantive outcomes, drawing on comparative law to explore how formalism and functionalism shape legal doctrine.
“We are thrilled to welcome Professor Philipp Schlüter to the Haub Law faculty,” said Horace E. Anderson Jr., Dean of the Elisabeth Haub School of Law. “Professor Schlüter brings a thoughtful international and comparative perspective that will enrich both our curriculum and our scholarly community. His expertise across private law, civil procedure, and comparative legal systems will provide our students with valuable insight into the ways legal doctrines develop and evolve across jurisdictions.”
Prior to joining Haub Law, Professor Schlüter held academic positions at the University of Freiburg and the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law in Hamburg, and worked at the German Federal Chancellery in Berlin and UNIDROIT in Rome, among others. Most recently, he served as a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Freiburg, where he taught Contracts, Property, Torts, and U.S. Contract Law and received the Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan Faculty Teaching Prize.
Professor Schlüter has published extensively on private law and civil procedure in leading German legal journals and scholarly publications and has presented his research at academic institutions and conferences in both the United States and Germany. He received his legal education in Germany, earning his doctorate in law from the University of Freiburg. He also holds an LLM from Yale Law School and is on track to complete his JSD there this September.
“I am delighted to join the faculty at Haub Law and to become part of its academic community,” said Professor Schlüter. “I look forward to working with students in the classroom, continuing to develop my scholarship, and engaging with colleagues across the Law School. I am especially excited about the opportunity to bring my comparative perspective to both my teaching and research.”
Professor Schlüter’s appointment is the latest addition to Haub Law’s full-time faculty. The Law School recently welcomed Professor Allison Pincus as Assistant Professor of Law and welcomed Professor Jason J. Czarnezki back to the faculty as Professor of Law and Faculty Director of Bar Strategy and Performance.
