Professor Zipursky is James H. Quinn ’49 Chair in Legal Ethics and Professor of Law at Fordham University School of Law, where he was Associate Dean from 2001-2003. He has taught as a Visiting Professor at Columbia Law School and Vanderbilt Law School, and in the Spring of 2009 is a Visiting Professor at Harvard Law School. Professor Zipursky is a leading scholar in torts, tort theory and jurisprudence, and has published more than forty articles and chapters on subjects ranging from punitive damages and duty in tort law to the varieties of pragmatism within legal philosophy. He has lectured extensively in the United States and abroad and is a frequent commentator in the news media on issues related to pharmaceutical liability. Zipursky is best known as a pioneer of “civil recourse theory” of tort law, which he and Professor John Goldberg of Harvard Law School have established as a leading alternative within tort theory to corrective justice theory and law and economics.
