Professor Rogers is a scholar of international arbitration and professional ethics at Bocconi University, with an appointment as a Research Proessor at University of California Law, San Francisco. Her scholarship focuses on the convergence of the public and private in international adjudication, the intersection of markets and regulation in guiding professional conduct, and on the reconceptualization of the attorney as a global actor.  

Prior to Bocconi, Professor Rogers taught at many universities around the world, including as Professor of Ethics, Regulation, and the Rule of Law at Queen Mary, University of London, at Pennsylvania State University, and at the Masters International Dispute Settlement (MIDs) Program in Geneva. 

Professor Rogers was a Reporter for the American Law Institute’s Restatement of the U.S. Law of International Commercial and Investor-State Arbitration. Among other appointments, she sits on the International Advisory Board of the Vienna International Arbitration Centre and the Oxford University Press Investment Claims Advisory Board. She co-chaired the ICCA-Queen Mary Task Force on Third-Party Funding in International Arbitration, and regularly engages in capacity-building activities to promote international dispute resolution and the rule of law in developing and emerging economies.
