At the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, our faculty are committed to a cross-disciplinary approach to legal education, which connects the law with other fields of study and the academy to the global legal landscape. The historic and transformative gift from the W. P. Carey Foundation – the largest ever given to a law school – allows us to invest even more deeply in our students, faculty, and cross-disciplinary program. Two-thirds of Penn Law’s standing faculty hold advanced degrees in addition to the JD, and approximately half hold secondary appointments at Penn’s other professional schools or graduate departments. As leaders in the law and their respective fields, my colleagues engage with critical facets of our society: business and corporate law, public policy, constitutional law, intellectual property, and technology. Our faculty’s cutting-edge scholarship, which draws from an array of diverse fields and methodologies, has won numerous national, regional, and university awards. Because of their prolific and pathbreaking work, our faculty members are regularly sought out by national and international policy makers as experts in their fields. In addition, our faculty are deeply committed to their teaching and to the Law School community. Faculty members advise and mentor students, collaborate on scholarship, and engage with important issues of the day. Because of the supportive, collegial atmosphere at the Law School, faculty and students can discuss sensitive issues in a civil and productive manner. This publication showcases our faculty’s 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 Law, they expand the realm of our knowledge, confront contemporary complex legal problems, and advance the legal profession. With best regards,
Theodore W. Ruger Dean and Bernard G. Segal Professor of Law

David S. Abrams Professor of Law, Business Economics, and Public Policy
David 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.

fac u lt y s ta n d i n g • mitchell berman
Mitchell Berman Leon Meltzer Professor of Law; Professor of Philosophy; Co-Director, Institute for Law and Philosophy
Mitch Berman writes and teaches in diverse areas of legal theory, specializing in American constitutional law and theory, philosophy of criminal law, general jurisprudence, and philosophy of sport. His thinking in these varied fields is generally “metanormative” or “second-order” in character. That is to say, rather than investigating what the rules in a particular domain are or should be (which are “first-order” concerns), he examines matters that are more fundamental or abstract. For example, his work has explored: the substance and functions of normative concepts (e.g., “The Normative Functions of Coercion Claims”); the architecture of normative systems (e.g., “Constitutional Decision Rules,” “Of Law and Other Artificial Normative Systems,”); and what makes it the case that the rules and standards that comprise our normative systems have the particular contents that they do (e.g., “Our Principled Constitution”).
expertise.
Professor Berman’s multi-year projects include defending a novel, non-originalist theory of American constitutional interpretation and developing a plausible, morally attractive retributivist justification for criminal punishment. He is also co-authoring a textbook that will introduce students to legal concepts, problematics, and analytic frameworks through a study of rules and practices in sport. The author or co-author of over 50 scholarly articles and book chapters, Professor Berman has won teaching awards at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Texas.

Maggie Blackhawk Assistant Professor of Law
Maggie Blackhawk (Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe) researches and teaches in the fields of constitutional law, federal Indian law, and legislation. Her recent projects examine the ways that American democracy can and should empower minorities, especially outside of traditional rights and courts-based frameworks. She is particularly interested in those formal legal institutions that empower minorities to govern and engage in lawmaking—petitioning, lobbying, distributed sovereignty, etc.—and how those institutions might be harnessed to better mitigate constitutional failures, like colonialism and slavery. Her research has been published or is forthcoming in the Harvard Law Review, Stanford Law Review, Yale Law Journal, and Cambridge University Press. Her empirical projects have been supported by the American Political Science Association, the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, among others. Along with Laura Edwards (Duke, History) and Naomi Lamoreaux (Yale, History & Economics), she is leading a multi-year project for the Tobin Project’s Institutions of Democracy Initiative on Rethinking the History of American Democracy. She also served as President of the AALS section on Legislation and Law of the Political Process and as Senior Constitutional Advisor to the President of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe.

Stephen B. Burbank David Berger Professor for the Administration of Justice
Stephen Burbank is the author of definitive works on federal court rulemaking, interjurisdictional preclusion, litigation sanctions, international civil litigation, litigation retrenchment, and judicial independence and accountability. He is co-editor (with Barry Friedman) of Judicial Independence at the Crossroads: An Interdisciplinary Approach (Sage, 2002). His 1982 article, “The Rules Enabling Act of 1934,” reoriented the theory and practice of court rulemaking. Professor Burbank’s scholarship also includes a detailed study of the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005 in historical perspective, an analysis of different approaches to the study of judicial behavior in law and political science, and an empirical study of the retirement decisions of federal judges (with Judge Jay Plager and Gregory Ablavsky). His recently published book (with Sean Farhang), Rights and Retrenchment: The Counterrevolution Against Federal Litigation (Cambridge, 2017) uses original archival research and original data sets to map efforts to scale back private enforcement of federal law across institutional sites. He was appointed by the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives to the National Commission on Judicial Discipline and Removal and was a principal author of the Commission’s 1993 report.

William Burke-White is an expert on international law and international institutions. As Inaugural Director of Penn’s Perry World House from 2014-2019, he helped establish Penn’s university-wide, interdisciplinary international affairs research institute.

Burke-White has written extensively on international criminal law, international economic law, and human rights. His work has addressed issues of power transitions in the global order, the role of sub-national actors in international law, post-conflict justice, the International Criminal Court, and international investment arbitration. He served in the Obama Administration from 2009-11 on Secretary Clinton’s Policy Planning Staff, providing the Secretary direct policy advice on multilateral diplomacy and international institutions. He was principal drafter of the Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (QDDR), Secretary Clinton’s hallmark foreign policy and institutional reform effort. In 2008, he received the A.

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. 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 the University of Pennsylvania. 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. selected positions.

Allison Hoffman, an expert on health care law and policy, examines some of the most important legal and social issues of our time, including health insurance regulation, the Affordable Care Act, Medicare and retiree healthcare expenses, and long-term care. Her research aims to bring greater descriptive and analytical clarity to the purposes of health regulation and to deepen our understanding of how health insurance design and regulation both reflects and shapes social consciousness around risk. Hoffman co-edited the Oxford Handbook of U.S. Health Law with I. Glenn Cohen and William M. Sage, which offers the most comprehensive review of U.S. health law in the post-ACA era. Professor Hoffman was awarded the Robert A. Gorman Award for Excellence in Teaching in 2018-19. Her current work examines the legality and ethics of the adoption of Medicaid work requirements, considers the future of long-term care and end of life care policies and regulation, and critiques how economic theory has overly shaped the development of health law and policy. Professor Hoffman’s article, “Health Care’s Market Bureaucracy,” was published in the UCLA Law Review in 2019.

David Hoffman Professor of Law
Professor 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 extralegal 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 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.

Professor 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 Morse and Michael Moore, he edited Foundations of the Criminal Law (Oxford, 1999).

Theodore W. Ruger Dean and Bernard G. Segal Professor of Law
Theodore Ruger brings fresh insight to the study of some of the oldest questions of American law — namely the theoretical justifications for, and empirical contours of, the application of judicial authority. In exploring these issues, Ruger supplements traditional legal analysis with the methods of other disciplines, including history and political science.

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.

Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein is the former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. Recognized worldwide as a leading and outspoken promoter of universal human rights, he was awarded the 2015 Stockholm Human Rights Award and the 2018 Human Rights Tulip Prize. With over 20 years of direct exposure to the world’s most turbulent international crises and serious security threats, his knowledge is steeped in the global security environment. A former president of the UN Security Council, in 2002 Al Hussein was elected the first president of the governing body of the International Criminal Court (ICC), guiding the court’s growth in its first three years. There, he chaired some of the most complex legal negotiations associated with the court’s statute. He also led the international community’s efforts to counter the threat of terrorists trafficking and maliciously using nuclear materials. A native of Jordan, Al Hussein twice served as the country’s ambassador to the UN and once as its ambassador to the United States. He is an Honorary Fellow of Christ’s College, Cambridge University, and in 2019 was appointed a member of The Elders, an independent group of global leaders working for peace, justice, and human rights, founded by Nelson Mandela.
Stephanos 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.
