Early life and education
Hiram Chodosh was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey in 1962.[1] Raised in nearby Hillside, he graduated from Hillside High School.[2]
He received his B.A. in history from Wesleyan University in 1985, and his J.D. in 1990 from Yale Law School.[3] In his second year at Yale, Chodosh met his wife, Priya Junnar.[4]
Career
Chodosh began his law career in 1990 at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton and left in 1993 to join the faculty of Case Western Reserve University School of Law.[5] In 2003, Chodosh was named a Fulbright Senior Scholar and played a central role in the practice and expansion of mediation in India.[6]
In 2006, Chodosh was appointed as Dean of the S.J. Quinney College of Law at the University of Utah.[7] Under a grant from the U.S. Department of State in 2007, Chodosh founded and directed the Global Justice Project, a law and policy think tank, to advise the Iraqi government.[8] In recognition of his international efforts in legal reform and advocacy for mediation, Chodosh was awarded the Gandhi Peace Award in 2011.[9] In February 2012, he was appointed as the Hugh B. Brown Endowed Chair of the University.[10]
In December 2012, he was selected to be the 5th President of Claremont McKenna College.[11]
