BIOGRAPHY

I began my career as a teacher of languages (Spanish and English), then turned to law. I practiced at a law firm in Phoenix, US for 5 years, focusing mostly on corporate transactions and estate planning. I came to Southeast Asia to work in human rights, which I did for 6 years on the Thailand-Myanmar border and in Yangon, Myanmar. In 2012, I came to Malaysia to teach law at Multimedia University in Melaka. In 2015, I started at the Faculty of Law, University of Malaya.

If you would like a copy of any of my publications, please don't hesitate to ask (stewart.manley@um.edu.my). I am happy to share.
