Tim Canova is the Betty Hutton Williams Professor of International Economic Law and co-director of the Center for Global Trade & Development at the Chapman University School of Law in Orange, California.  He previously served as the law school’s Associate Dean for Academic Affairs from 2007 to 2010. 

Canova’s research crosses the disciplines of law, public finance, economics, and history. He was an early critic of financial deregulation, warned of the dangers of the bubble economy, and opposed the reappointment of Alan Greenspan as chairman of the Federal Reserve in 1996 in the pages of the New York Times and elsewhere (see “Greenspan’s Grip”). He has authored more than two dozen articles and book chapters from an institutional law and Keynesian economics perspective, including articles in the Harvard Law & Policy Review, American Journal of Economics and Sociology, Brooklyn Law Review, Georgetown Journal of Law & Public Policy, and UC Davis Law Review.

Canova has presented his research at leading universities and forums throughout the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East.  He teaches Corporations, Regulation of International Financial Institutions, International Business Transactions, International Trade and Development Law, International Monetary Law, History of Economic Thought, Animal Law, and Marine Mammal Protection Law.  He has previously taught at the University of Miami School of Law, the University of Arizona College of Law, and the University of New Mexico School of Law where he was first granted tenure.

Canova received his B.A. from Franklin & Marshall College, J.D. degree cum laude from the Georgetown University Law Center, and master’s diploma in graduate legal studies from the University of Stockholm where he was a Swedish Institute Visiting Scholar.  He previously served as a legislative assistant to the late U.S. Senator Paul E. Tsongas and practiced law with Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher in New York City.
