Sanjukta Paul is a professor of law at the University of Michigan Law School. She studies, writes, and teaches mainly in the fields of labor and antitrust.

Paul primarily studies and thinks about the way the law shapes, and understands, economic coordination. She has written extensively on the labor-antitrust intersection, and more broadly on legal understandings of the business enterprise and of markets generally. 

Her book on the history—and the imagined history—of antitrust’s treatment of labor coordination (Solidarity in the Shadow of Antitrust: Labor and the Self-Coordinating Market Idea) will be published with Cambridge University Press in 2027. 

She practiced law for several years, primarily on behalf of workers and labor unions, before turning to academics.
