Scott Hemphill teaches and writes about antitrust, intellectual property, and regulation of industry.

His scholarship has been cited by the US Supreme Court and the California Supreme Court, among others, and has formed the basis for congressional testimony on matters of regulatory policy. Hemphill's writing has appeared in law reviews, peer-reviewed journals, and the popular press, including the Yale Law JournalScience, and the Wall Street Journal. He joined NYU from Columbia Law School, where he was a professor of law.
