Biography

Adam Feibelman is Sumter Davis Marks Professor of Law and Director of the Center on Law and the Economy.  His teaching and research focus on bankruptcy law, regulation of financial institutions, legal issues related to sovereign debt and international monetary law.

His current work explores two topics: the relationship between corporate bankruptcy and financial regulation and theories of monetary sovereignty.  His ongoing scholarly interests include India’s new insolvency and bankruptcy system and the IMF’s legal framework.

He joined the Tulane faculty in 2009. Prior to that, he was a faculty member at the University of North Carolina School of Law and University of Cincinnati School of Law and taught as a Bigelow Fellow at the University of Chicago. He clerked for Judge Gilbert S. Merritt of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

The Murphy Institute

Established in memory of Charles H. Murphy, Sr. (1870-1954), and inspired by the vision of Charles H. Murphy, Jr. (1920-2002), The Murphy Institute exists to help Tulane faculty and students understand economic, moral, and political problems we all face and think about. More important, it exists to help us understand how these problems have come to be so closely interconnected.
