About Elizabeth Warren

According to Warren, she has "spent decades writing academic books and teaching an entire generation of law students about the rules of money." Those "rules" include the formal statutes of commercial law, the policy issues inherent in them, and the ethical problems they can produce. Warren joined the faculty of Harvard University in 1992 and has served as the Leo Gottlieb Professor of Law since 1995.
