Official Source Note
Stanford Law School identifies Melamed as Professor of the Practice of Law and records his scholarship and professional experience in antitrust, competition policy, litigation, and law and economics.
Melamed is included because his work with Guido Calabresi supplies a canonical framework for comparing property rules, liability rules, and inalienability rules as institutional methods for protecting entitlements.
