Professor Bronsteen's research applies the findings of hedonic psychology to areas of law such as criminal punishment and regulatory decision-making. His work has been published in the Columbia Law Review, the University of Chicago Law Review, the California Law Review, the Duke Law Journal, and the Georgetown Law Journal, among many others, including the Oxford Handbook of Law and Economics and the philosophy journal Utilitas.
After graduating from law school, Professor Bronsteen clerked for Chief Judge Douglas Ginsburg of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. He was then an associate at Goldstein & Howe in Washington, D.C., where he primarily worked on the litigation of U.S. Supreme Court cases. He then spent two years as a Bigelow Teaching Fellow and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago Law School before coming to Loyola.
