He received his B.A. in philosophy from Columbia College,[1] his J.D. from Yale Law School, and his Ph.D. in philosophy from Columbia University. After law school, Shapiro served as a clerk for Judge Pierre Leval on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.[2] At Yale, he teaches in Jurisprudence, Constitutional Law, Cyberlaw, and Cybersecurity.

He is the author of work in jurisprudence and legal theory, including "Legality".[3] He is also the editor of the "Oxford Handbook of Jurisprudence and Philosophy of Law". He has been cited for his work on the planning theory of law and for pioneering experimental jurisprudence.[4] He serves as an editor of Legal Theory and the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

With Oona A.
