Colin Picker
AB (Bowdoin College), JD (Yale)
Colin has published extensively in the field of international economic and comparative law, but is most disappointed over his failed attempt to publish a ham sandwich. While his travels, professional and itinerant, have taken him to the four corners (sic) of the Earth, disappointment still haunts him over his as yet unrealized goal of going into space, following his early abandonment of a career in astrophysics. Nonetheless, Colin’s gonzo-science appears throughout his scholarship, from work on the relationship of technology to the development of international law (including reference to the ancient need for a steady supply of maize for beer leading to the development of proto-sovereignty) to employment in his dissertation of a metaphor involving Galileo’s novel use of the telescope with respect to Colin’s development of a new research methodology for international economic law. Prior to academia, Colin worked in an international law firm in Washington DC, very often handling cutting edge technology and law issues – from the early development of internet privacy to trade cases involving super computers to competition law issues involving satellite launch technologies. Nonetheless, when teaching, his students will rarely see PowerPoint or any evidence of modern technology beyond the employment of calcium carbonate on slate.
