Stawasz

Stawasz is interested in uncovering the law’s tacit values and normative underpinnings by examining spaces where those values become legible. Much of his scholarship focuses on regulatory benefit-cost analysis, where agencies render their regulatory tradeoffs explicit. He also draws on animal law, where legal institutions are frequently exposed to a conceptual “edge case,” insofar as animals are neither fully human-like nor fully property-like. Both domains often force legal institutions to identify and grapple with their core normative commitments.

This research draws on Stawasz’s experiences as an adviser at the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, as a legal fellow at the Institute for Policy Integrity at New York University School of Law, and as a research associate at economic consulting firm Data for Decisions LLC. He has published extensively in numerous legal and peer-reviewed journals, and he has peer-review experience with the Journal of Benefit-Cost Analysis and Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal.

He is a member of the bars of New York and the US Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit.
