Gordon Butler Scholar in International Law. Steinitz\u2019s scholarship focuses on a wide\u00a0range of topics, including the intersection of civil litigation and corporate law, public and business international law, transnational dispute resolution, and the global legal profession.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Having developed an interest in law teaching from her early days as an undergraduate, Steinitz entered legal education on the faculty at Columbia Law School in 2009 after nearly a decade in litigation. \u201cI love research, writing, and teaching, so academia seemed like a perfect choice,\u201d she says. \u201cSome of my areas of research\u2014like international dispute resolution\u2014evolved from my life experience (growing up in a conflict zone, in the case of that example). Other areas, such as third-party litigation funding, I stumbled upon serendipitously and they turned out to be both interesting and important and have captured my interest even though I never set out to be an expert on those topics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While finding an area of interest or path outside of law school can be intimidating, Professor Steinitz advises BU Law students to \u201ctry to have fun with your elective courses, don&#8217;t be too strategic.\u201d She encourages them to \u201ctake the opportunity to get a well-rounded education and pursue interests that you may not have an opportunity&nbsp;to&nbsp;pursue once you leave school and the pressures of the so-called &#8216;real world&#8217; limit your ability to engage broadly beyond what your work will demand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to joining BU Law, Steinitz was a professor of law at University of Iowa College of Law, held a dual appointment as an associate-in-law and lecturer at Columbia Law School, and served as a visiting professor at Harvard Law School, Tel Aviv University, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, her alma mater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During her time in private practice, Professor Steinitz worked as a litigation associate at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lw.com\/\">Latham &amp; Watkins LLP<\/a>, and as a law clerk at Flemming, Zulack &amp; Williamson LLP. From 1998 to 1999, she was a judicial law clerk for the Honorable Esther Hayut, current chief justice of the Israeli Supreme Court. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While at Latham and Watkins, Steinitz led the representation of the emerging government of Southern Sudan in drafting its national and sub-national constitutions, providing legal advice on various aspects of the Sudanese peace process. Described by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2023\/07\/The_Deal_Dec_1-14__2008_-1.pdf\"><em>The Deal<\/em><\/a> as \u201cone of the most ambitious international <em>pro bono<\/em> undertaking ever by a commercial law firm,\u201d&nbsp;the project required participation of nearly fifty Latham and Watkins attorneys across the globe and established a model for \u201c<em>pro bono<\/em> development of international rule of law.\u201d James Kearney, a now retired New York partner at Latham and Watkins, ran the <em>pro bono<\/em> program at the time of the case. He told <em>The Deal<\/em> that Steinitz \u201ccombined extraordinary organizational capabilities necessary to pull a team of lawyers together with an understanding of local matters and history and an enormous energy to help the people of Southern Sudan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-bu-pullquote record-block-bu-pullquote alignwide is-style- has-image-focus-center-middle has-quaternary-theme has-dark-theme-text\"><div class=\"wp-block-bu-pullquote-inner\"><figure><\/figure><blockquote><div class=\"container-lockup\"><div class=\"container-icon-outer\"><div class=\"container-icon-inner\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"container-text\"><hr\/><div class=\"quote-sizing\">Maya Steinitz conceived and oversaw one of the most ambitious international <em>pro bono <\/em>undertakings ever by a commercial law firm, a more-than-yearlong effort to assist the Southern Sudanese in drafting federal and regional interim constitutions.<\/div><footer class=\"caption\">Matt Miller, <em>The Deal<\/em><\/footer><hr\/><\/div><\/div><\/blockquote><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Steinitz remains active in international dispute resolution, regularly serving as an arbitrator, expert, and counsel to law firms, litigation finance firms, NGOs, and the United Nations in international and domestic negotiations.

She has also served as a member of the ICC Commission on Arbitration and on the inaugural bench of the Israeli-Palestinian ICC Jerusalem Arbitration Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to her private practice, Steinitz has made several scholarly contributions to the fields of international arbitration, transnational litigation, dispute resolution, and law firm finance, with articles featured in leading law reviews and law journals published by Yale Law School, Harvard Law School, Stanford Law School, University of Pennsylvania Law School, <a href=\"https:\/\/minnesotalawreview.org\/article\/whose-claim-is-this-anyway-third-party-litigation-funding\/\">University of Minnesota Law School<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/vanderbiltlawreview.org\/lawreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/278\/2013\/11\/Steinitz_66_Vand_L_Rev_1889.pdf\">Vanderbilt Law School<\/a>, Oxford University, <a href=\"https:\/\/scholarship.law.nd.edu\/ndlr\/vol90\/iss3\/5\/\">Notre Dame Law School<\/a>, and others.
