Joel Paul, Professor
The San Ramon Valley Democratic Club is pleased to welcome Professor Joel Richard Paul from the University of California Hastings Law School. Professor Joel Paul will discuss the promise and the reality of globalization, how free trade has led to a regulatory race to the bottom, and how we can harness globalization to raise environmental and labor standards at home and abroad.

He teaches international trade law and policy, international business transactions, and constitutional law.
