Already at the top of the field in online dispute resolution before he extended his focus to the legal theory aspects of dispute settlement, Thomas Schultz, born in 1976, a Senior Lecturer (Maître d'enseignement et de recherche) at Geneva University Law School, has concentrated his scholarship on what legal theory might teach international arbitration and vice versa. In this context, he has worked with some of the most prominent experts in both arbitration (Gabrielle Kaufmann-Kohler) and legal theory (Matthew Kramer, Cambridge, and François Ost, Brussels), and has published in distinguished journals of both fields. A prolific writer, having authored and co-authored three books by the age of 30, he did a postdoc at Cambridge University, has been an external expert for the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, and is a founding member of the Geneva Ph.D. School in international dispute settlement. He earned a summa cum laude Ph.D. from Geneva University Law School and an LL.M. from the European Academy of Legal Theory (Brussels), which he obtained antichronologically before his graduation from Geneva University Law School.
