Associate Professor Adam Mossoff joined the Mason Law faculty in fall 2008 from Michigan State University College of Law, where he pursued his interest in the theoretical and doctrinal intersections between property and intellectual property, with a special focus on the intellectual history of patents. He has taught in the areas of patent law, property, cyberlaw, jurisprudence, estates and trusts, and property theory.
Professor Mossoff graduated in 2001 with honors from the University of Chicago Law School, where he was a research assistant to Richard A. Epstein and held the Bradley Governance Fellowship. Following law school, Professor Mossoff spent the academic year 2001-2002 at Northwestern University School of Law, where he was a John M. Olin Fellow in Law. Just prior to joining the faculty at MSU, Professor Mossoff completed a clerkship for the Honorable Jacques L. Wiener Jr. of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. He holds an MA in philosophy, specializing in legal and political philosophy, from Columbia University and a BA in philosophy from the University of Michigan, where he graduated magna cum laude.
