Penn Carey Law Faculty

At Penn Carey Law, our faculty are committed to a cross-disciplinary approach to legal education, which connects the law with other disciplines and the academy with the global legal landscape. Nearly half of our standing faculty hold advanced degrees in addition to the JD, and half hold joint or secondary appointments at Penn’s other professional schools. As leaders in the law and their respective fields, my colleagues engage with critical facets of our society: business and corporate law; administrative law and regulation; constitutional law; health care law; technology; racial, social, and criminal justice; and more.

Our faculty’s cross-disciplinary approach to scholarship enables them to draw from an array of diverse fields and methodologies to confront the complex legal problems facing the world. Incorporating traditional legal scholarship, archival study, and data-driven research, their cutting-edge scholarship has won numerous national, regional, and university awards. Moreover, because of their prolific and groundbreaking work, our faculty members are regularly sought out by national and international policy makers as experts in their fields.

Here at the Law School, our faculty are also deeply committed to their teaching and to our community. They advise and mentor students, collaborate on scholarship, and engage with students on important current events and issues. The supportive, collegial atmosphere at Penn Carey Law allows all members of the Law School community to discuss sensitive issues in a civil and productive manner, paving the way for our students to become the thought leaders and changemakers of tomorrow.

This publication showcases our faculty members’ wide range of interests, their distinguished accomplishments, and their significant impact on scholarship and policy. In their research and teaching, our faculty members embrace public service, global leadership, and the value of reaching across intellectual boundaries to integrate the methods and frameworks of other disciplines. Through their critical work at Penn Carey Law, they expand the realm of our knowledge and advance the legal profession.

With best regards,

Theodore W. Ruger Dean and Bernard G. Segal Professor of Law

STANDING FACULTY

David S. Abrams

Professor of Law, Business Economics, and Public Policy

David S. Abrams is one of the leading young economists working in empirical law and economics. His work strives to understand and measure how individuals respond to incentives in various legal contexts. In his work on intellectual property law, he has investigated the expected impact of the America Invents Act, examined the effect of patent duration on innovation, and used natural language processing to establish more reliable measures of patent value.

In his latest empirical work, he has shown that long-held views on patent value and citations do not hold and introduced a new model of innovation to account for the findings. He has also done substantial work in criminal justice, including investigating whether longer sentences deter crime, how defendant race impacts judicial decisions, to what extent attorney skill affects case outcomes, and how much individuals value freedom.

His interests also include law and health economics, labor economics, and corporate finance. His work has appeared in top peer-reviewed journals and law reviews, including the Stanford Law Review, University of Chicago Law Review, University of Pennsylvania Law Review, American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, and Journal of Legal Studies.

Mitchell Berman

Leon Meltzer Professor of Law; Professor of Philosophy; Co-Director, Institute for Law and Philosophy

Award-winning teacher Mitch Berman focuses on American constitutional law and theory, philosophy of criminal law, general jurisprudence, and philosophy of sport. His contributions include a novel nonoriginalist theory of American constitutional interpretation, a new positivist account of legal content, and an original retributivist justification for criminal punishment. He also claims to have solved the paradox of blackmail, the mystery of unconstitutional conditions, and the age-old puzzle of whether referees should ‘swallow the whistle’ in crunch time.

Berman’s work appears or is forthcoming in the leading peer-reviewed journals in his fields, including Ethics, Philosophy & Phenomenological Research, Oxford Journal of Legal Studies, Legal Theory; Law & Philosophy, Criminal Law & Philosophy, and Journal of Philosophy of Sport; in prominent student-edited law reviews including University of Pennsylvania Law Review, University of Chicago Law Review, Michigan Law Review, California Law Review, Texas Law Review, Notre Dame Law Review, Virginia Law Review, NYU Law Review, Duke Law Journal, and Georgetown Law Journal; and in edited volumes published by Oxford, Cambridge, and Routledge.

Berman’s co-authored 2021 textbook, The Jurisprudence of Sport: Sports and Games as Legal Systems, inaugurates a new field of legal-theoretic inquiry and pedagogy, one that introduces students to legal concepts and problematics through the study of rules and practices in sport.

William Ewald

Professor of Law and Philosophy

William Ewald earned his doctorate in mathematical logic at Oxford University before attending Harvard Law School. Ever since, he has retained both interests. In the history and philosophy of mathematics, he translated many foundational documents in his widely used source book, From Kant to Hilbert (Oxford, 1996). The discovery in Göttingen of a large collection of unpublished notebooks of David Hilbert, the greatest mathematician of the twentieth century, led to a large project of editing and commenting on the development of Hilbert’s thought: three large volumes (of a projected six) have so far appeared. This work has led to numerous awards including the LLM teaching award in 2020.

He is an internationally recognized scholar in legal philosophy and comparative law. His influential, monograph-length article on the philosophical foundations of comparative law, “What Was it Like to Try a Rat?” has been translated into Ukrainian and Chinese. The broad strategy is to combine the historical study of legal systems with comparative law and with legal philosophy.

His work in comparative law led him to study James Wilson, the first professor of law at Penn. Wilson was a signer of the Constitution, and Ewald established that he was considerably more important than had previously been recognized. He is currently engaged in writing a full intellectual biography, and in 2018 was invited to give the annual historical lecture reporting on this research at the U.S. Supreme Court.

Professor of Law; Academic Director, Quattrone Center for the Fair Administration of Justice

An expert in the empirical analysis of law, Paul Heaton has produced novel insights on a range of criminal and civil justice topics. His research has been published in the most prominent scholarly journals in the areas of law, medicine, public health, and economics, reflecting the multi-disciplinary orientation of his work.

David Hoffman

William A. Schnader Professor of Law; Deputy Dean

Dave Hoffman is a widely cited scholar who focuses his research and teaching on contract law. His work is typically interdisciplinary, built through collaboration with co-authors from a variety of fields. One recent set of papers examined the technical and legal aspects of transactions occurring on and through blockchains. Other work, using qualitative and experimental methods, focuses on how individuals experience contracting online, and what extra-legal goals firms might seek to accomplish using the “terms and conditions.” He has also engaged in the national conversation sparked by the #metoo movement, publishing a paper with a Penn Carey Law student that argues that nondisclosure clauses in employment contracts violate public policy. His current projects include the building and analysis of a dataset consisting of hundreds of thousands of Philadelphia residential leases.

Hoffman was born and raised in the Philadelphia area, where he currently lives with his wife and two young children. He is a frequently sought after commentator on issues involving contract law and an active user of Twitter. He joined the Law School faculty in 2017 after spending the first 12 years of his career at Temple Law School. At Penn, Hoffman was honored with the Harvey Levin Memorial teaching award in 2018, and he previously won Temple’s George P. Williams Memorial Award for the Outstanding Professor of the Year (2013).

Leo Katz

Leo Katz’s work focuses on criminal law and legal theory more generally. By connecting criminal law, moral philosophy, and the theory of social choice, he tries to shed light on some of the most basic building block notions of the law — coercion, deception, consent, and the use and abuse of legal stratagems, among others.

Katz is the author of several books: Bad Acts and Guilty Minds: Conundrums of the Criminal Law (Chicago, 1987); Ill-Gotten Gains: Evasion, Blackmail, Fraud and Kindred Puzzles of the Law (Chicago, 1996); and Why the Law Is So Perverse (Chicago, 2011). Together with Stephen J. Morse and Michael Moore, he edited Foundations of the Criminal Law (Oxford, 1999).

In 2020, Katz received the Robert A. Gorman Award for Excellence in Teaching for his exceptional work migrating his Criminal Law course to the necessarily online, remote format. He has taught at the Law School since 1991, and prior to that, has held positions around the world, including visiting scholar and fellowship positions at Wissenschaftskolleg, Berlin; the Australian National University; University of California, Berkeley; Goethe Universität Frankfurt; and University of Michigan Law School.

Michael S. Knoll

Theodore K. Warner Professor of Law and Professor of Real Estate; Co-Director, Center for Tax Law and Policy

Michael S. Knoll is the author of more than 60 articles, book chapters, and other pieces. His academic writings have been published in student-edited law reviews, including the law reviews of Harvard, Yale and Stanford, and peer-reviewed and professional journals, including the Journal of Finance, Journal of Law and Economics, and Tax Law Review. He has also published editorials in the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post

His research focuses on the economic incentives created by legal rules and how economics can be used to improve legal doctrine. In recent years, Knoll’s scholarship has focused on taxation, especially cross-border taxation. In “What is Tax Discrimination?,” Knoll and his co-author argue that the prohibition against tax discrimination embodied in the European Union’s free movement rights and the dormant Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution can be best understood as calling for a level playing field between interstate and intrastate commerce, and they provide a framework that courts can use to ascertain whether a state tax discriminates against interstate commerce. This argument formed the basis Knoll and his co-author’s amicus brief in Wynne v. Comptroller of Maryland, which was cited by the Supreme Court majority multiple times in its 2015 decision. Knoll and his co-author are also working on a book on tax discrimination in the E.U and the U.S.

Kermit Roosevelt

Kermit Roosevelt works in a diverse range of fields, focusing on constitutional law and conflict of laws. He has published scholarly books in both fields. Conflict of Laws (Foundation Press, 2010) offers an accessible analytical overview of conflicts. The Myth of Judicial Activism: Making Sense of Supreme Court Decisions (Yale, 2006) sets out standards by which citizens can determine whether the Supreme Court is abusing its authority to interpret the Constitution. Most recently, The Nation that Never Was: Reconstructing America’s Story (Chicago, 2022) offers a novel reinterpretation of American identity that is more honest and more inspiring than the standard version.

He has published articles in the Virginia Law Review, the Michigan Law Review, and the Columbia Law Review, among others. He is also the author of two novels, In the Shadow of the Law (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2005) and Allegiance (Regan Arts, 2015). In 2014, he was selected by the American Law Institute as the Reporter for the Third Restatement of Conflict of Laws.

Jennifer E. Rothman

Nicholas F. Gallicchio Professor of Law

Jennifer E. Rothman is nationally recognized for her scholarship in the field of intellectual property law. She is the leading expert on the right of publicity, and is frequently sought after to consult on legislation, high-profile litigation, and the development of creative projects.

In addition to focusing on conflicts between intellectual property rights and other constitutionally-protected rights, such as the freedom of speech, her scholarship also explores the intersections of tort and property law, particularly in the context of the right of publicity, copyright, and trademark and unfair competition law. Her current research focuses on the ways intellectual property law is employed to turn people into a form of property, as well as how it regulates the production and content of expression. Her recent book, The Right of Publicity: Privacy Reimagined for a Public World, published by Harvard University Press, addresses some of these concerns in what has been described as the “definitive biography of the right of publicity.” Rothman’s essays and articles regularly appear in top law reviews and journals. Her most recent article, The First Amendment and the Right(s) of Publicity, appears in the Yale Law Journal

She also created Rothman’s Roadmap to the Right of Publicity, an online resource, located at www. rightofpublicityroadmap.com, that provides a comprehensive analysis of state right of publicity laws and commentary on recent cases and legislation. Rothman is an elected member of the American Law Institute and an adviser on the Restatement of the Law (Third) of Torts: Defamation and Privacy.

Theodore W. Ruger

Dean and Bernard G. Segal Professor of Law

As a teacher and scholar, Ted Ruger brings fresh insight to the study of some of the oldest questions of American law and the legal profession — namely the theoretical justifications for, and empirical contours of, the manner in which judges resolve disputes and in which the legal profession is constructed and regulated.

Chris William Sanchirico

Samuel A. Blank Professor of Law, Business, and Public Policy; Co-Director, Center for Tax Law and Policy

Chris William Sanchirico’s work spans several fields of legal scholarship but is chiefly focused on tax law and policy. His work on taxation employs a range of methodologies. His recent research on the tax treatment of private equity funds, for instance, analyzes subtle aspects of tax law doctrine.

His study of work patterns and income tax progressivity applies sophisticated statistical methods to complex data sets. And his contributions to the theory of optimal taxation use mathematical models to help refine policy discourse.

His work on evidentiary procedure is known for its creativity and focus on important issues that have been largely neglected in the literature. He argues in one recent article that the law makes good use of individuals’ bounded ability to process information. The insincere witness’s cognitive limitations, for example, help make cross-examination effective.

In other research he argues that structural features of evidentiary process, such as those that exploit cognitive limitations, are often a better way of dealing with evidentiary misdeeds than attempting to penalize perjury or obstruction of justice.

Bibas, U.S. Court of Appeals Judge

Senior Fellow

Stephanos Bibas, Judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, studies the powers and incentives that shape how prosecutors, defense counsel, defendants, and judges behave in the real world of guilty pleas. His 2004 paper, “Plea Bargaining Outside the Shadow of Trial” (Harvard Law Review), explored the agency costs, structural forces, and psychological biases that cause plea bargaining to deviate from expected trial outcomes. He also studies the divorce between criminal procedure’s focus on efficiency and criminal law’s interest in healing victims, defendants, and communities. His book The Machinery of Criminal Justice (Oxford, 2012) explains how criminal justice should do more to encourage acceptance of responsibility, remorse, apology, and forgiveness.

As Director of the Law School’s Supreme Court Clinic, Bibas litigated a wide range of Supreme Court cases. He and his co-counsel won a landmark victory in Padilla v. Kentucky in 2010, persuading the Court to recognize the right of noncitizen defendants to accurate information about deportation before they plead guilty. His academic work played a central role in the Supreme Court’s landmark case of Blakely v. Washington.
