Professor Bray teaches Property and a seminar on Non-Monetary Remedies.
Bray is a graduate of the University of Chicago Law School, where he was book review editor for the University of Chicago Law Review. He clerked for Judge Michael W. McConnell on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. After practicing law at Mayer Brown LLP, he was an associate-in-law at Columbia Law School and then the executive director of the Constitutional Law Center at Stanford Law School.
Bray’s research explores structural problems in the law of remedies, and in particular problems related to the functions, timing, and institutional demands of different remedies. His recent scholarly work includes an account of when remedies should be determined and declared in advance, Announcing Remedies, 97 Cornell L. Rev. (forthcoming 2012); a normative theory of the declaratory judgment, Preventive Adjudication, 77 U. Chi. L. Rev. 1275 (2010); and an exploration of how the law protects the vulnerable, Power Rules, 110 Colum. L. Rev. 1172 (2010). Professor Bray is also a co-author of The Constitution of the United States (2010) (with Professors Paulsen, Calabresi, and McConnell).
