Wayne Law professor earns 2 honors

Charles H. Brower II, a Wayne State University Law School professor who is of counsel with Miller Canfield in Detroit, recently garnered two professional honors.

He'll be listed for the first time in the global edition of Who's Who Legal: Arbitration 2015, which will be published in November. Those listed are chosen through at least four independent peer nominations, followed by a worldwide process of media reviews and peer interviews. Brower will be one of only 120 people listed from the United States and only two from Michigan.

Brower of Grosse Pointe Farms also has been elected and invited to become a fellow of the American Bar Foundation. Fellows are selected on the basis of peer nominations, and membership is limited to those demonstrating outstanding achievement in their jurisdiction. Accordingly, no more than one-third of 1 percent of lawyers registered in any jurisdiction may be fellows at any given time.

An elected member of the American Law Institute, Brower has taught and written about human rights, international business transactions, international commercial arbitration, the law of armed conflict and public international law for more than 15 years. Before joining Wayne Law in 2012, he was Croft Professor of International Law at the University of Mississippi School of Law.

In addition to his academic work, he is an arbitrator on the commercial panel of the American Arbitration Association, vice chair of the Institute for Transnational Arbitration, immediate past chair of the institute's Academic Council, a member of the board of directors of the Atlanta International Arbitration Society and a member of its Academic Advisory Council. He is co-editor-in-chief of World Arbitration and Mediation Review and a reporter for NAFTA developments at Kluwer Arbitration online.

He has been an advocate for the government of the Republic of Costa Rica in advisory proceedings before the International Court of Justice.

He graduated from the University of Vermont and earned his law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law.

At Wayne Law, he teaches International Commercial Arbitration, Investment Treaty Arbitration, Contracts and the Law of Armed Conflict.

Brower won the prestigious Smit-Lowenfeld Prize in 2012 for the best article published on the topic of international arbitration. He has served as a visiting fellow at Cambridge University's Lauterpacht Research Centre for International Law and as a member of the American Arbitration Association's observer delegation to UNCITRAL Working Group II.
