Jianlin grew up in Singapore and Taiwan. He obtained his LLB from National University of Singapore and LLM from University of Chicago. He is currently completing his JSD from the University of Chicago. He is qualified to practice in Singapore and New York.

His publications’ seemingly diverse research areas of corporate law, securities regulations, insurance law, compulsory land acquisitions, culture wars, law & religion is united by his research agenda of drawing on a combination of comparative perspectives and economics analysis (including public choice) to critically examine the unarticulated jurisprudential assumptions inherent in many legal discourses.
