Professor Shin is a graduate of Dartmouth College, where he received his A.B. summa cum laude with High Honors in Philosophy and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and of Harvard Law School, where he received his J.D. cum laude and served as an editor of the Harvard Law Review. After law school, Professor Shin completed judicial clerkships in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, and he worked for several years as a litigation associate in the Boston office of Hale and Dorr LLP (now WilmerHale). He then returned to Harvard University to earn his Ph.D. in Philosophy before joining the faculty at Suffolk Law.
Professor Shin teaches Torts, Employment Discrimination, Professional Responsibility, and Jurisprudence. In 2011, he received the Cornelius J. Moynihan Teaching Award. His current scholarship focuses on philosophical dimensions of problems in antidiscrimination law and on theoretical issues surrounding the meaning and value of diversity.
