Professor Anne Choike’s scholarly interests focus on how communities and underserved people are affected by transactional law, and how ethics and theory (including but not limited to the professional rules and feminist theory, respectively) can improve the social impacts of transactional law. She is the founder and director of the Equitable Entrepreneurship & Innovation Law Clinic, and also an Associate Clinical Professor of Law, at Michigan State University College of Law.

Choike is a co-editor of FEMINIST JUDGMENTS: CORPORATE LAW REWRITTEN (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming September 2022), to which she also contributed two chapters as a co-author. Choike’s work has also been published in the Michigan Business & Entrepreneurial Law Review and the Columbia Journal of Tax Law, and she has presented her research at Stanford Law’s Legal Design Lab, Columbia University’s Studio-X in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; at the I0e Biennale Internationale Design in Saint-Étienne, France; at the New York University Clinical Law Review Writer's Workshop; the American Association of Law Schools Annual Conference; the American Association of Law Schools Annual Conference on Clinical Legal Education; the Journal of Rural Sociology; and at other academic forums.

Before joining MSU Law, Choike previously served as the director of the Business and Community Law Clinic and an Assistant Professor (Clinical) at Wayne State University Law School, where she taught the clinic and advanced clinic. Choike also taught at the University of Michigan Community and Economic Development Clinic as a clinical fellow and at the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning as a course instructor in its Michigan-Mellon Project on Egalitarianism in the Metropolis. Through the Michigan-Mellon Project, she collaborated with University of Michigan architecture faculty to develop and teach an international, interdisciplinary experimental travel research studio in Detroit, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.

Prior to entering academia, Choike was an attorney at Jenner & Block LLP and Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP. Her clinical law experience also includes practicing with the University of Michigan Low Income Taxpayer Clinic during law and graduate school. Prior to law school, Choike worked at General Motors.
