Herman Stern Professor at the Beasley School of Law at Temple University. He is the author of In Search of Jefferson's Moose: Notes on the State of Cyberspace (Oxford, 2009). Cyberlaw: Problems in Jurisprudence and Policy (West, 5th ed. 2017) (co-authored with Patricia Bellia, Paul Berman, and Brett Frischmann), and numerous scholarly articles on the law of cyberspace, copyright law, and complexity theory, including "Law and Borders: The Rise of Law in Cyberspace" (Stanford L.

Prior to becoming a legal academic, he practiced law for six years at the DC firm of Wilmer, Cutler, & Pickering, and clerked twice for Ruth Bader Ginsburg (on the DC Court of Appeals in 1986-87 and on the Supreme Court in 1993-94).
