Before joining the CWRU faculty, Juscelino Colares, clerked for the Hon. Jean-Louis Debré, chief justice of France’s Constitutional Court (2008-09 term) and practiced at Dewey Ballantine, LLP in Washington, D.C., where he litigated trade cases before federal agencies, federal courts, and NAFTA panels. Colares has served as chair of the University Faculty Senate and associate dean for Global Legal Studies.
