Timothy Meyer is an expert in public international law, with an emphasis on international economic and environmental law. His current research examines how international economic agreements relate and respond to concerns about economic opportunity and inequality. His past research looks at the interaction of international and local rules on energy subsidies, the role of local governments in free trade agreements and the creation of non-binding "soft law" obligations. Before joining the legal academy, Professor Meyer practiced law for several years at the Office of the Legal Adviser, U.S. Department of State, and served as a law clerk for Justice Neil M. Gorsuch when he sat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
