Mark Weidemaier is an Assistant Professor of Law at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he teaches courses in commercial arbitration, contracts, and complex civil litigation. His research explores the myriad ways in which litigants, lawyers, and other private actors shape dispute resolution systems. Much of his work to date has focused on arbitration. For example, past projects have explored the impact of standardization on dispute resolution terms and the role of intermediaries, including arbitrators and arbitral institutions, in influencing arbitration contracts and procedure. Current projects examine the use and creation of precedent in arbitration and the use of formally unenforceable dispute resolution terms to overcome barriers posed by sovereign immunity. Representative publications are available for download on the Social Science Research Network and the Berkeley Electronic Press.

After receiving his J.D. from the University of Minnesota, Weidemaier clerked for the Honorable Dolores K. Sloviter on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. He then practiced law in the complex commercial litigation group at Dechert LLP in Philadelphia and worked at the School of Government at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is a graduate of Carleton College in Northfield, MN.
