Professor Christensen earned his J.D. from The Ohio State University College of Law in 2006 and an LL.M. in Indigenous Peoples Law and Policy from the University of Arizona College of Law in 2010. While at Arizona he assisted with the preparation of briefs to the United States Supreme Court in Elliot v. White Mountain Apache. During undergraduate studies Professor Christensen earned a B.A. in American Studies with a focus on American Indian studies from the University of Richmond.
Professor Christensen joined The University of North Dakota in 2015. Prior to joining the faculty at UND, Professor Christensen was an Assistant Professor at the Charlotte School of Law, a visiting professor at The University of Oregon School of Law and a lecturer of law at The University of Toledo College of Law.
After law school, but before becoming a law professor, Professor Christensen worked at Target Corporation in Minneapolis, Minnesota and with the mid-sized law firm of Marshall & Melhorn where he worked on a number of complex cases in the bankruptcy and debtor/creditor contexts.
During the 2011-2012 term, Professor Christensen was awarded a Fulbright research grant by the State Department to Lithuania, the first such grant given in law to the post-Soviet nation. His research focused on international bilateral and multilateral treaty law sand its prospective application to the interpretation of treaties between the United States and Indian Tribes.
