Professor Veronica Taylor
Veronica L. Taylor is an international lawyer and socio-legal scholar. Her work centres on regulatory intermediation and institutional reform. Within international law and justice norm-making, she analyzes the people and institutions that animate rule of law as foreign policy, commercial activity and a professional practice.
Within the field of Asian and Comparative law, her work on Japan and Indonesia includes empirical and comparative studies of contracts, competition and corporate governance. Her current work focuses on the actors shaping legal pluralism in the Philippines; the ways in which regulation and law are made in Myanmar; and how to improve Indonesia’s research competitiveness. She has written and consulted extensively on legal education reform and the regulation of the legal profession in Asia.
Her work draws on more than 30 years’ professional experience as a designer and implementer of legal reform for international and bilateral aid programmes in 15 countries.
