Before coming to UT Law, Stephen Bero was a member of the faculty at the University of Surrey School of Law, which he joined in 2017 after earning a PhD in philosophy from the University of Southern California. Prior to that, he practiced law for several years in New York in the litigation department of WilmerHale, and clerked for the Hon. Jack B. Weinstein in the Eastern District of New York and the Hon. Reena Raggi on the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. He earned his JD from Columbia Law School and an LLM from University College London; he also spent two formative years at UT Austin, where he earned an MA in philosophy (and took his first law school course: Jurisprudence). His main research interests are in private law (particularly tort law), private law theory, and jurisprudence, and his work often explores the ways in which insights from moral psychology and the philosophy of emotions can illuminate legal questions. His work has been published in the Texas Law Review, Law and Philosophy, Criminal Law and Philosophy, and Oxford Studies in Agency and Responsibility, among other venues. At Surrey his teaching focused on Tort Law and an upper-level seminar on Core Issues in Private Law. He is a Research Fellow of the Surrey Centre for Law and Philosophy.
