Professor Susan Finder is the Distinguished Scholar in Residence at the School of Transnational Law of Peking University (Shenzhen). She received her undergraduate degree from Yale College, her Juris Doctor degree from Harvard Law School, and a Master of Laws degree from Columbia Law School.

She is a scholar of China's judicial system (in a comparative perspective), focusing on the evolution of the role and operations of the Supreme People's Court, with many years of experience in China-related legal practice. In her initial academic career (at what is now the City University of Hong Kong), she published the first comprehensive study of the operations of the Supreme People's Court. For many years thereafter, she practiced law, primarily with the international law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.

Professor Finder is also on the panel of arbitrators of several Chinese arbitration institutions, including the Shenzhen Court of International Arbitration and the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission. Much of her scholarship is published on her blog, the Supreme People's Court Monitor. The Harvard Law School Law Library lists the blog as one of the best resources for Chinese legal research.
