Michael S. Moore (1942, Oregon)

One of the world's most prominent authorities in jurisprudence, and criminal law, as one of the most cited theoreticians in both areas. His works focus on the relationship between legal (in torts and especially criminal law) and moral responsibility and causal relationship between the two, legal interpretation based on metaphysical, semantic and moral realism, and also the relationship between law and psychiatry.

after several chairs in several top universities of USA, He now holds the Charles R. Walgreen, Jr. Chair, the first university-wide chair for University of Illinois. He is jointly appointed as professor of law in the College of Law and as professor of philosophy in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. He also holds an appointment as a professor with the Center for Advanced Studies, an honor bestowed on faculty on the basis of their outstanding scholarship and among the highest forms of campus recognition.

his works especially in criminal law are well-respected in legal academia on the subject of criminal liability, after the works of H.L.A. Hart and Tony Honore.
