Deborah Hellman is Professor of Law at the University of Virginia School of Law. Prior to
joining the UVA faculty in 2012, she was the Jacob France Research Professor at the University
of Maryland School of Law. She writes about discrimination and equality, campaign finance and
obligations of professional role.
Hellman is the author of When Is Discrimination Wrong? (2008, Harvard Univ. Press), which lays out a theory of discrimination, and a co-editor of The Philosophical Foundations of Discrimination Law (forthcoming, Oxford Univ. Press). Her work in the campaign finance area has focused on two questions. First, when and why should particular rights be understood to include an ancillary right to spend money to effectuate the underlying right? Second, what is “corruption” and “the appearance of corruption” and who ought to answer this question, courts or legislatures?
Professor Hellman’s article Money and Rights was published as part of the 2011 Symposium “Money, Politics, and the Constitution: Beyond Citizens United.”
