Bio

In both her scholarship and her teaching, Professor Feldman integrates law and philosophy. Her areas of specialty include tort law, legal theory, legal ethics, ethics, political philosophy, epistemology, philosophy of science and philosophy of mind. As of 1999, Professor Feldman's major scholarly project is a book examining the reasonable person as represented in tort law. This interdisciplinary project, tentatively entitled Care, Character, and American Tort Law, explains and justifies the role of the reasonable person construct in American tort law. In 1998, she contributed a selection related to this project to the anthology Law and Science, published by Oxford University Press. Other recent and forthcoming publications include "Apparently, Substantial, Oddly Hollow: The Enigmatic Practice of Justice," a review of William Simon's recent book in the Michigan Law Review and a foreword to a Georgetown Journal of Legal Ethics symposium issue. Professor Feldman teaches torts, advanced torts, and seminars in legal history and legal ethics. She has been a member of the faculty at the University of Michigan Law School, a visiting professor at the University of Tokyo, and a visiting associate professor at the Law Center. Currently, Professor Feldman is a member of the executive committee for the Association of American Law Schools Torts Section. She is a Member of the Coif and was Articles Editor of the Michigan Law Review.
