Mr. Macrory has written and spoken extensively on international trade law subjects. He was Co-Chairman of the International Trade Committee of the American Bar Association from 1983 to 1984. He was Visiting Associate Professor of Political Science at the International Christian University in Tokyo, Japan, from 1977 to 1978, where he taught courses on various aspects of international law, including the GATT and trade law. Mr. Macrory has taught trade law courses at the Washington College of Law at American University, including a course on regional trade agreements. He has also taught courses on the subject at the International Law Institute’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., and at its affiliates in Uganda, Egypt, Turkey, and Nigeria as well as in Tokyo and Beijing. Mr. Macrory was a visiting lecturer at Queen Mary and Westfield College at London University between January and March, 2000, covering WTO law. He has lectured on trade law in many parts of the world, including Japan, Korea, China, Canada, Saudi Arabia, India, Nepal, Switzerland, Krygyzstan, the Bahamas, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Barbados, , and the Dominican Republic. He has designed and run seven one-month courses for groups of Chinese lawyers on WTO law, focusing on trade remedies, and a similar course for a group of Vietnamese government officials. He recently designed and ran a one-week course on dispute settlement in the WTO and under regional trade agreements.
In 2001 Mr. Macrory designed a course for the U.S. Foreign Service Institute to instruct foreign service officers and other U.S. government officials on monitoring compliance with the WTO and other trade agreements. Mr. Macrory has presented this course three to five times a year at the FSI’s headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, as well as at U.S. embassies in various parts of the world, including Tokyo, Beijing, and Kampala.

The first volume, dealing with trade was published in November 2017, and the second (investment) in the fall of 2018. Peter Van Den Bossche, a former member of the WTO Appellate Body, described the first volume as “a most welcome addition to the publications on international trade law and policy”. The book will be published in Chinese in the Fall of 2019.
