Professor Spalding's teaching and research interests lie at the intersection of
business law, international law, and criminal law, with a specific focus on international
anticorruption statutes. He has placed articles in the UCLA Law Review, Wisconsin Law
Review, and Florida Law Review, and his research has been featured in The Economist, The
Wall Street Journal and Forbes magazine. He has lectured and conducted research in
developing countries throughout the world, including India, China, Turkey, Bangladesh,
Kazakhstan, Thailand, South Africa, and the United Arab Emirates. At Chicago-Kent, he
teaches International Business Transactions, Securities Regulation, and Legal Writing. 

Prior to coming to Chicago-Kent, Professor Spalding was a Fulbright Senior Research
Scholar based in Mumbai, India, where he studied the impact of anticorruption laws on
developing countries in Asia. He previously conducted corporate governance investigations
and securities fraud litigation in the Washington, D.C., office of Wilmer Cutler
Pickering Hale and Dorr, following clerkships at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit and the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada. He has a Ph.D. in
political science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and taught political science
at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, while earning his J.D. In his travels, as in all
else, he greatly enjoys the companionship of his wife, Bethany, and their daughters,
Simone, Phoebe and Bronte.
