Bio:

Living peripatetically, Professor Levine was incorporated in Delaware, but his principal place of business in his youth was Philadelphia, New Haven, and then Buffalo. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Michigan in psychology and history, Professor Levine also studied at University College, University of London on the London Exchange Fellowship, researching in the area of developmental psychology. He went on to graduate from the University of Pennsylvania Law School, where he was an editor of the law review and a legal writing instructor.

Before joining the Hastings faculty in 1982, Professor Levine lived in New Orleans while serving as a law clerk to Judge Alvin B. Rubin of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and was also an associate in the litigation department of Morrison and Foerster in San Francisco. He served as Associate Academic Dean from 1989-1991. He is co-author or co-editor of four books, including Remedies: Public and Private and California Civil Procedure, as well as the author of articles on civil procedure, torts and institutional reform litigation. He has served as the Reporter for the District of Nevada's Committee on the Implementation of the Civil Justice Reform Act and as a research analyst for the Northern District of California's Early Neutral Evaluation Program.

Professor Levine has spent a semester as a visiting professor at Leiden University in the Netherlands and another at St. John's University in New York City.
