Neal Pike Scholar in Health &amp; Disability Law. Robertson previously served as associate dean for research and innovation and professor of law at the University of Arizona.<\/p><p>An expert in health law, institutional design, and decision making, Professor Robertson\u2019s work touches on wide-ranging areas such as torts, bioethics, professional responsibility, conflicts of interests, criminal justice, evidence, the First Amendment, racial disparities, and corruption.<\/p><p>He is the author of\u00a0<em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hup.harvard.edu\/catalog.php?isbn=9780674972162\" target=\"_blank\">Exposed: Why Our Health Insurance is Incomplete and What Can be Done About It<\/a><\/em>, and has coedited three books,<em>\u00a0Nudging Health: Behavioral Economics and Health Law<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Blinding as a Solution to Bias: Strengthening Biomedical Science, Forensic Science, and Law<\/em>, and\u00a0<em>Innovation and Protection: The Future of Medical Device Regulation<\/em>\u00a0(forthcoming).\u00a0<\/p><p>Acting in legal reform movements, Robertson undertook a yearlong project in 2020 to help the board of trustees of the California State Bar reduce racial disparities in the attorney discipline system. He previously served as reporter for the Healthcare Law Committee of the Uniform Law Commission. For over a decade, he has served on the clinical ethics committee of an academic medical center.<\/p><p>In his efforts to reform legal education, Robertson is leading the development of JD-Next, a national program designed to reduce disparities in preparation for law school and to provide a reliable predictor of student success. In its second year, the program enrolled over 1,100 students nationwide. With the Educational Testing Service, Robertson conducted the first major study of the validity of the GRE as an admissions test for JD programs, which led to more than 60 schools\u2014including Harvard, Yale, and BU\u2014now relying on the exam. He has also pioneered legal education for undergraduates and non-lawyer professionals.<\/p><p>Robertson has served as a visiting professor at Harvard Law School, NYU Law, and the London School of Economics, and as a visiting scholar at the Brown University Policy Lab. He is affiliated with the Petrie Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard, the NYU Langone Health Working Group on Compassionate Use and Preapproval Access, and the University of Arizona\u2019s Innovation for Justice program. Robertson\u2019s legal practice has focused on complex litigation involving medical and scientific disputes, and he continues to work with litigators through his firm, Hugo Analytics.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-editorial-listicle-section-meta\"><aside class=\"wp-block-editorial-listicle-section-aside\"><p><strong>Areas of Interest:<\/strong><br>&#8211; Civil Litigation<br>&#8211; Constitutional Law<br>&#8211; Diversity &amp; Inclusion<br>&#8211; Evidence Law<br>&#8211; Health Law<br>&#8211; Law &amp; Technology<br>&#8211; Legal Ethics<br>&#8211; Torts<\/p><\/aside><p class=\"wp-blocks-components-share-tools\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"icon-action\">Share this<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/section><\/article><\/section>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-editorial-event-details record-block-editorial-event-details\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Event\"><h3 class=\"wp-block-editorial-event-details-title\">Event Details<\/h3><article class=\"wp-block-editorial-event-details-article\"><div class=\"wp-block-editorial-event-details-more-info\"><h4 class=\"wp-block-editorial-event-details-event-title\" itemprop=\"name\">Meet the New Faculty!<\/h4><p class=\"wp-block-editorial-event-details-description\" itemprop=\"description\">A virtual event offered in conjunction with BU&#8217;s Alumni Weekend \u2013 Reimagined.<\/p><p class=\"button wp-block-editorial-event-details-calendar-link js-block-editorial-event-details-add-to-calendar\"><\/p><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-editorial-event-details-date-location\"><time class=\"wp-block-editorial-event-details-date\" itemprop=\"startDate\" content=\"2020-09-30T12:00:00-04:00\"><span class=\"wp-block-editorial-event-details-month\">September<\/span> <span class=\"wp-block-editorial-event-details-day\">30<\/span> <span class=\"wp-block-editorial-event-details-time\">12:00 PM<\/span><\/time><p class=\"wp-block-editorial-event-details-location\" itemprop=\"location\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Place\"><span itemprop=\"address\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/PostalAddress\">Register on Zoom<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/article><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-editorial-listicle record-block-editorial-listicle has-sidebar has-media\"><article class=\"wp-block-editorial-listicle-article\"><figure class=\"wp-block-editorial-listicle-figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"bu-blocks-background wp-image-72444\" src=\"\/law\/files\/2020\/08\/jessica-silbey.jpg\" alt=\"Professor Jessica Silbey\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2020\/08\/jessica-silbey.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2020\/08\/jessica-silbey-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2020\/08\/jessica-silbey-344x344.jpg 344w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2020\/08\/jessica-silbey-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2020\/08\/jessica-silbey-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text wp-block-editorial-listicle-caption wp-prepress-component-caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure><header class=\"wp-block-editorial-listicle-header\"><div class=\"wp-block-editorial-listicle-header-content\"><h3 class=\"wp-block-editorial-listicle-header-content-hed\">Jessica Silbey<\/h3><h4 class=\"wp-block-editorial-listicle-header-content-dek\">Professor<\/h4><\/div><\/header><section class=\"wp-block-editorial-listicle-section\"><div class=\"wp-block-editorial-listicle-section-content\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/jessica-silbey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jessica Silbey<\/a>\u2014who teaches and writes in the areas of intellectual property, law and humanities, constitutional law, and evidence and has served as a visiting professor at BU Law for the past year\u2014will join the faculty as a professor in January 2021. She was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship in 2018 for her work at the intersection of law and the humanities.<\/p><p>In intellectual property, Professor Silbey\u2019s scholarship focuses on the empirical and humanistic dimensions of the legal regulation of creative and innovative work. She studies common and conflicting narratives within creative and innovative communities and the IP law and policy that purport to regulate them. Her most recent book, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sup.org\/books\/title\/?id=20869\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Eureka Myth: Creators, Innovators and Everyday Intellectual Property<\/em><\/a>, has altered the national conversation about creativity and invention. Based on interviews with authors, artists, inventors, and lawyers, it challenges the traditional economic explanation for intellectual property law through a qualitative empirical investigation of diverse mechanisms and motives for producing creative and innovative work.<\/p><p>Professor Silbey has also published widely in the field of law and film, exploring how film is used as a legal tool and how it becomes an object of legal analysis in light of its history as a cultural object and art form. Representative publications include <em>Trial Films on Trial<\/em> (with Austin Sarat and Martha Umphrey, eds.); <em>Law and Justice on the Small Screen<\/em> (with Peter Robson ed.); \u201cPicturing Moral Arguments in a Fraught Legal Arena: Fetuses, Phantoms and Ultrasounds,\u201d 16 <em>Geo.
