Reza Dibadj Granted Tenure, Promotion
April 15, 2008 -- Reza Dibadj joined the ranks of USF School of Law tenured faculty members when he was granted tenure and promoted to full professor in March.
Courses Dibadj teaches include corporations, international business transactions, and securities regulation. His scholarship focuses primarily on corporate and securities law, though he also writes about antitrust, regulation and administrative law, and social welfare theory. He is author of Rescuing Regulation (SUNY Press, 2006), in which he provides novel answers to questions of why and how governmental regulation should be used. In addition, he has published more than 15 law review articles, several book reviews, and more than a dozen op-ed pieces during his six years in academia.
His writing draws from law and economics and has generally centered around two themes, one methodological and the other substantive. The first involves applying new tools, including network theory and game theory, to legal analysis. The second theme is an exploration of how government intervention can better mediate the increasingly complex intersection of democracy and capitalism.
"Reza is extraordinary. He has established himself as one of the great teachers at the law school; his scholarship is prodigious, influencing national and international audiences and receiving the acclaim of his peers for its clarity and originality; and, on top of it all, he's a terrific person admired by all of his colleagues," said USF School of Law Dean Jeff Brand. "We are very, very lucky to have him as a member of our faculty family."
Dibadj said he was attracted to USF because of the caliber of faculty and students, as well as by the diversity of professional opportunities afforded by life as a law professor.
"I was very impressed by the strong faculty and students," Dibadj said. "The most wonderful thing about being a law professor is you get to do many things - teaching, writing, research, presentations, and service. It's like several different jobs in one."
Dibadj is a graduate of Harvard Law School (magna cum laude), Harvard Business School (with distinction), and Harvard College (magna cum laude).
