Via
Brian Leiter's Law School Reports, we have more exciting hiring news to report:
Taisu Zhang, currently at Duke University, has accepted a lateral offer from
Yale Law School.
Professor Zhang holds a J.D. and a Ph.D. in history, both from Yale University, and has previously held positions at Brown University, the Tsinghua University School of
Law, and Peking University Law School. His research focuses on economic institutions in modern China and early modern Western Europe,
comparative law, property law, and contemporary Chinese Law.
His current project, under contract with Cambridge University Press, is titled
Kinship, Property and Agricultural Capitalism in Pre-Industrial China and England. A second manuscript-in-progress covers Chinese fiscal policy in the 18th and 19th centuries. His previous scholarship has appeared in the
