Mary Ellen O’Connell became the Robert and Marion Short Professor of Law in 2005. Prior to joining the Notre Dame faculty in this position, she was the William B. Saxbe Designated Professor of Law at the Moritz College of Law at The Ohio State University.
O'Connell's primary research focuses on international legal regulation of the use of force and conflict and dispute resolution, especially peaceful resolution of disputes prior to an escalation to armed conflict. She teaches contracts as well as a number of courses in the area of international law.
In conjunction with research on these issues, O'Connell examines the processes by which international law is made, applied, and enforced, and is particularly interested in the enforcement of international law and the question of whether it is time for a classical revival in international law.
The author of The Power and Purpose of International Law (Oxford University Press, 2008), three casebooks, four edited collections, and more than 60 articles and book chapters, O'Connell has been active in the American Society of International Law, German Society of International Law, International Institute for Humanitarian Law, International Law Association, and Council on Foreign Relations.
O’Connell earned her B.A. in History with highest honors from Northwestern University in 1980. She was awarded a Marshall Scholarship for study in Britain. She received a MSc. in International Relations from the London School of Economics in 1981, and an LL.B. with first class honors from Cambridge University in 1982. She earned her J.D. from Columbia University in 1985, where she was a Stone Scholar and book review editor for the Columbia Journal of Transnational Law.
After graduation, O’Connell practiced with Covington & Burling in Washington, D.C. She then taught at Indiana University School of Law, Bloomington; The Bologna Center of The Johns Hopkins University, Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, Bologna, Italy; George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany; and University of Cincinnati College of Law.
