Luo Jiajun is a Hauser Postdoctoral Global Fellow at NYU and an affiliated scholar of the U.S.-Asia Law Institute whose work centers on comparative constitutional and public law, especially legality, dispute resolution, and judicial institutions in authoritarian and Global South contexts. His current project, Authoritarian ADR: China’s Fengqiao Model of Dispute Resolution, examines how non-litigious mechanisms in China are used not only to settle disputes but also to enforce social policy, secure political compliance, and strengthen state authority, raising broader questions about how law, justice, and legality should be understood outside liberal democratic frameworks. His scholarship has appeared in leading academic and policy venues and has been cited by institutions including the U.S. Congressional-Executive Commission on China and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. Before NYU, he held positions at Georgetown, Cornell, the University of Virginia, the University of Hong Kong, and the Philip K.H. Wong Centre for Chinese Law. He earned his PhD in Law from the University of Hong Kong, where his dissertation on unequal justice in Chinese courts received major recognition, and he also holds degrees from the University of British Columbia and Shenzhen University.
