Margaret Jane Radin has been a law professor for 37 years, and a musician all her life. She was a music major at Stanford, class of '63, and still plays her flute daily. She received her JD from USC, class of '76, after earning a masters in music history at Brandeis, and a not-quite Ph.D. from UCBerkeley in '68 (dissertation dropout). Radin has held law faculty positions at Michigan, Stanford, USC, and University of Oregon, and has been a faculty visitor at Harvard,Toronto, UC Berkeley, NYU, and UCLA. Radin's scholarly specialities are exploration of the basis and limits of property rights and contractual obligation. Her book, Contested Commodities, focuses on what types of alleged market commodities should not be tradable property, and her new book, Boilerplate, focuses on what types of alleged agreements between a firm and consumers should not be enforceable contracts. Radin travels frequently to lecture and participate in workshops on these topics. In addition to her books, Radin is the author of many frequently-cited articles and book chapters, two of which are on the list of 100 most cited legal articles of all time. She founded and was the inaugural director of Stanford's Program in Law, Science & Technology, and was the inaugural Microsoft Fellow at Princeton's Program in Law, Science and Public Affairs. Among other honors, she has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Radin is married to violinist Phillip Coonce and the proud mother of Wayland Radin, environmentalist lawyer, and Amadea Britton, public health scientist and medical student.
