He received a B.A. in philosophy from Tufts University and a J.D. from Yale Law School, where he was a notes editor of the Yale Law Journal. After law school, he clerked for Judge Pamela Ann Rymer of the U.S. District Court and U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in Los Angeles and then served as an associate with the law firm of Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering in Washington, DC. Prior to joining the Rutgers faculty, Green taught at the Louisiana State University Law School. 

His book include Criminalizing Sex: A Unified Liberal Theory (OUP, 2020); Thirteen Ways to Steal a Bicycle: Theft Law in the Information Age (HUP, 2012); Philosophical Foundations of Criminal Law (co-edited with Antony Duff) (OUP, 2011); Lying, Cheating, and Stealing: A Moral Theory of White Collar Crime (OUP, 2006); and Defining Crimes: Essays on the Special Part of the Criminal Law (co-edited with Duff) (OUP, 2005).

He is currently working on two new books. One is an “advanced introduction” to criminal law theory, commissioned by Edward Elgar Publishers. The other, on the law and theory of homicide, will be the fourth volume of the series of books he has been writing on the conceptual and normative underpinnings of the criminal law’s Special Part, the part that defines specific offenses.
