Shalanda H. Baker

Associate Professor

Associate Professor Shalanda H. Baker teaches corporate law and courses in international development and international economic law. Her research explores issues at the intersection of large energy and infrastructure project development; indigenous rights; and the environment. She served as an Air Force officer prior to her honorable discharge under the “Don't Ask, Don't Tell” policy, and became a vocal advocate for repeal of the policy. Following her graduation from law school, Baker clerked for Justice Roderick Ireland of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. She also worked as a corporate and project finance associate for Bingham McCutchen LLP, initially in Boston and later in Japan. Baker recently completed a William H. Hastie Fellowship at the University of Wisconsin Law School, where she received her LLM degree.
