Pawel Lutomski

Adjunct Professor

Pawel (Pavo) Lutomski was born in Poland and studied at the University in Wroclaw until March 1981, when he had to leave communist Poland for political reasons. He lived then in Berlin, Germany, and later in Sweden, and finally came to the U.S. in 1985, as a political refugee. He received his Ph.D. in German Studies (with emphasis on political and social theory) at Stanford. Because of his broader interests in international relations (and their legal aspects), as well as in comparative constitutional law, he also decided to acquire a legal education. In 1997, he received a J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School.
