Professor Leonard Long joined the School of Law faculty in 1996. He teaches commercial law, corporate law, international trade and business transactions, and law and economics. His goal as a legal educator is to provide students with the opportunity to achieve a well-rounded liberal legal education. He aims to equip students with more than just the technical lawyering skills by facilitating their intellectual curiosity and their capacity for critical and independent thinking.
Before joining the School of Law, Professor Long was on the law faculty at the University of Southern California from (1991-1996). Prior to that, he practiced law in the area of commercial and financial litigation in Chicago at Chapman and Cutler, and then at Wildman, Harrold, Allen and Dixon. Outside the law, his interests include political philosophy and 19th- and 20th-century political and intellectual history.
