Biography
Scott Hemphill is Chief of the Antitrust Bureau, in the
Office of the New York State Attorney General. He is on leave from Columbia Law
School, where he is a Professor of Law. Before joining the Columbia faculty, he
served as a law clerk to Judge Richard Posner on the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the Seventh Circuit, and to Justice Antonin Scalia on the United States Supreme
Court. He holds a J.D. and Ph.D. in economics, both from Stanford, and is a
graduate of Harvard and the London School of Economics, where he studied as a
Fulbright Scholar.
Professor Hemphill's research and teaching examine the
balance between innovation and competition set by antitrust law, intellectual
property, and other forms of regulation. Recent work considers competition in
the pharmaceutical industry, intellectual property protection for original
fashion designs, and regulation of broadband Internet access providers. An
ongoing project on drug patents and public health, joint with Bhaven Sampat, is
supported by an award from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. His writing has
appeared in the law reviews of Columbia, NYU, and Stanford, the Wall Street
Journal, and peer-reviewed journals in economics and law.
Recent work is available here.
