Climbing Above the Culture Clash

BU Law Welcomes New Faculty
At the core of any law school is its faculty. BU Law professors are nationally acclaimed for their
teaching skills as well as their scholarship, and they are frequently consulted for advice by
both the public and private sectors. We are proud to welcome the following two members to our
faculty: Stacey L. Dogan and Abigail R. Moncrieff.
Stacey L. Dogan
Professor of Law
Professor Dogan, who joins the BU faculty from Northeastern
University School of Law, is a leading scholar in intellectual
property law. She has written many articles on the application
of trademark and copyright law to the online environment,
with a particular emphasis on the role of intermediaries, such
as Napster and Google. Her most recent article, co-authored
with Mark Lemley of Stanford, considers the role of antitrust
law in regulated industries, and contends that antitrust courts
have an important role to play in curbing “regulatory games.”
Professor Dogan has presented her research at numerous
national and international conferences, and her writings have
appeared in publications including the Stanford Law Review,
Emory Law Journal, Iowa Law Review, and Texas Law Review.
In the fall of 2008, she became the co-editor-in-chief of the
Journal of the Copyright Society, a peer-reviewed copyright
journal. She is also the incoming chair of the intellectual
property section of the Association of American Law Schools.
She is an active participant in educational programs with the
local bar, leading seminars and discussions for the Boston Bar
Association, Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education and
the Massachusetts Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts. She also
has participated in executive training sessions through the
Northeastern University high-technology M.B.A. program.
Before Professor Dogan went into teaching,
she practiced for several years with the
Washington, D.C., law firm of Covington
& Burling, where she specialized in
trademark, copyright and antitrust law.
She also served as a law clerk to Judge
Judith Rogers of the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Abigail R. Moncrieff
Associate Professor of Law
Peter Paul Development Professor
Abigail Moncrieff joins the BU Law faculty from Harvard
Law School’s Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy,
Biotechnology and Bioethics, where she was an academic
fellow. While at the Petrie-Flom Center, Professor Moncrieff
argued for federalization of medical malpractice policy
in an article published in the Columbia Law Review.
Moncrieff’s academic interests include healthcare law,
healthcare law & economics, structural constitutional law,
and legislation. In 2002, Professor Moncrieff was awarded a
Fulbright scholarship to study comparative healthcare policy
in Switzerland (one of the only countries in Europe that still
relies on private insurance to finance healthcare delivery).
She received her J.D. from the University of Chicago,
and clerked on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for
Judge Sidney R. Thomas. At BU Law, Professor Moncrieff
teaches the first-year legislation course as well as a seminar
on healthcare law & the Constitution. In her writing,
she continues to tackle structural governmental barriers
to efficient healthcare delivery in the United States.
BU recently awarded Prof. Moncrieff the Peter Paul Development
Professorship. The award was established in 2006 by a gift from
BU alum and trustee Peter Paul to recognize
the “very best young faculty” who
are within the first two years of
their appointments to Boston
University. The competition
is University-wide; recipients
are supported for three
years in their research
and scholarly pursuits.
