Adam Chilton

Adam Chilton is an assistant professor at the University of Chicago Law School, where he teaches International Trade Law. Adam’s research interests lie at the intersection of empirical legal studies and international law. His current research projects examine the ways that political considerations affect the United States’ international trade and investment policy; whether enshrining rights within constitutions improves the protection of those rights; how antitrust law is enforced around the world; and how experimental methods can be used to study whether domestic politics influence compliance with international law. Adam received a BA and MA in Political Science from Yale University. After college, Adam worked as a management consultant for BCG. He then went to Harvard University, where he earned a JD as well as a PhD in Political Science.
