Profile
Joanne Scott joined UCL in July 2005. She is Professor of European Law and Member of the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution. She taught previously at the Universities of Cambridge, Queen Mary and Kent. She has been a regular visiting professor at Columbia Law School, and was a visiting professor at Harvard Law School in 2005/6.
Research
Joanne's main areas of research are in EU Law, WTO Law, and the interface between the two. She is particularly interested in environmental governance. This is reflected in her recent writing on the EU Water Framework Directive and on the new REACH Regulation concerning chemicals regulation. Joanne has recently prepared a commentary on the SPS Agreement, forming part of an OUP series of commentaries on the various WTO Agreements. As a result she developed an interest in non-judicial governance mechanisms in the WTO (such as the SPS Committee).
