Biography
Ohlin graduated from Phillips Academy.[2] He then received his B.A. from Skidmore College and his M.A., M.Phil., Ph.D., J.D., all from Columbia University.[3] He joined the faculty of Cornell Law School, serving as Director of Faculty Research (2013–15), Associate Dean for Academic Affairs (2015–17), Vice Dean (2017–20), and Interim Dean (2020–2021).

His scholarship ranges from criminal conspiracy law, criminal procedure, public international law to the laws of war.[3][5] In Election Interference: International Law and the Future of Democracy (2020), Ohlin argued that the Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections was against international law because it violated the collective right of self-determination.[6] With Duncan Hollis, he also edited Defending Democracies: Combatting Foreign Election Interference in a Digital Age (2020).[7]
