Rebecca Stone is Professor of Law at UCLA School of Law. Her research and teaching interests include law and economics, legal philosophy, contracts, torts, unjust enrichment, and the ways in which law, philosophy, and economics intersect. The primary focus of her research is on questions about how our institutions of private law can be justified as a matter of ideal theory and under conditions of background injustice. She is also interested in the intersections between law, philosophy, and economics. She holds a J.D. from NYU School of Law, a B.A. in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from Oxford University and an M.Phil. and a D.Phil. in Economics also from Oxford University. Following law school, she clerked for Judge Richard Posner on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and Justice Stephen Breyer on the U.S. Supreme Court. She has been a visiting professor at NYU School of Law and Harvard Law School.
