Professor of Law and Michael J. Zimmer Fellow

Professor Steinman joined the Seton Hall Law School faculty in 2010. He is an award-winning teacher and one of the nation’s most prolific young scholars in the area of civil procedure and federal courts. He also teaches in the international law area.

Professor Steinman’s writing has won awards for scholarly achievement and appeared in many top law reviews, including most recently the Stanford Law Review (2010), Notre Dame Law Review (2008), Northwestern University Law Review Colloquy (2008), Boston College Law Review (2007), Iowa Law Review (2007), Washington & Lee Law Review (2006), and Washington Law Review (2006). His articles have been cited frequently by judges, prominent scholars in the field, and leading casebooks and treatises.

Professor Steinman earned his law degree (JD) from Yale Law School and his bachelor's degree (BA) from Yale University. After law school, he served as a law clerk to federal judges at both the trial and appellate levels — Judge Emilio M. Garza of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and Chief Judge Jerry Buchmeyer of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. Following his clerkships, Professor Steinman spent two years as a teaching fellow and supervising attorney in the Appellate Litigation Program at Georgetown University Law Center, earning a Master of Laws degree (LLM). Professor Steinman then practiced at the law firm of Perkins Coie LLP in Seattle, Washington, focusing on complex civil litigation (principally product liability, commercial and international matters) and appellate litigation. Prior to joining the Seton Hall faculty, he was a Professor of Law at the University of Cincinnati.
