Richard Epstein, a longtime professor at the University of Chicago Law School, is making a move to the New York University School of Law.

Epstein has been a visiting professor at NYU School of Law four times, and will permanently join the faculty in the fall of 2010. Though he will formally retire from the University of Chicago in 2010, Epstein will continue teaching there as a senior lecturer.

Epstein is known for his research and writing on numerous topics, including constitutional, economic, historical and philosophical subjects. He has also written three books, most recently Supreme Neglect: How to Revive Constitutional Protection for Private Property.

Epstein began teaching law at the University of Southern California. He moved to the University of Chicago in 1972, where he did a brief stint as interim dean in 2001. He has taught classes in various areas, including antitrust, communications, constitutional law, contracts, criminal law, health, labor, jurisprudence, patents, property, Roman law and torts.

In addition to teaching law, Epstein has been the Peter and Kristin Bedford Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution since 2000.
