M. Veronica Saladino
Professor Veronica Saladino’s area of interest is comparative and private international law. She focuses her research on the enforcement of contract clauses in international agreements and the enforcement of U.S. judgments abroad. Her main goal is to point practitioners to the elements they should consider when drafting an international agreement or initiating litigation involving an international component.
After completing her legal studies in her hometown at the Università degli Studi di Cagliari, Italy, Professor Saladino attended and received a second law degree, cum laude, at the William S. Boyd School of Law, University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She also obtained an LL.M. with distinction in International Business and Economic Law at Georgetown University Law Center in Washington D.C.
In 2017, the University of Cagliari named Professor Saladino a Private Comparative Law Expert Fellow and has invited her yearly to teach a host of comparative law topics including Fundamentals of U.S. constitutional law in a comparative approach, U.S. federalism, and contracts and torts in common law systems.
She has published Enforceability of Choice of Court Clauses in Transnational Agreements: the 2005 Hague Convention, Its Implementation in Contracting States, and the U.S. Approach, 24 CHI. J. INT’L L. 417 (2024), Relativity of Contracts and Severability of The Arbitration Clause in Multi-Contract Transactions: A Comparative Analysis, 32 AM. REV.
