Hello! I’m Amit Singh. I am a doctoral candidate at Harvard Law School. I work in private law, with a particular focus on the philosophical underpinnings of tort and property. My advisors are Henry Smith (Harvard), John C.P. Goldberg (Harvard), Daniel Markovits (Yale), and Gideon Yaffe (Yale).
I also have robust research interests in constitutional law, jurisprudence, and Aboriginal law. My research on Aboriginal law, in particular, has been profiled here.
I completed my LL.M. at Yale Law School. Before attending Harvard and Yale, I earned my J.D. at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law with Distinction. I also completed a B.A. (Hons.) in Philosophy at Trinity College in the University of Toronto and an M.A. at the University of Toronto Department of Philosophy. During my J.D., I co-founded the Yale-Toronto Private Law Theory Discussion Group. I continue to co-convene the Discussion Group, now from the Yale side of the project.
After law school, I was a commercial litigation and international arbitration attorney in New York City—first at Shearman & Sterling LLP, and then at litigation boutique Holwell, Shuster & Goldberg LLP—and clerked at the Court of Appeal for British Columbia. I was called to the Bar of New York in 2022. I have also served as Adjunct Professor at Osgoode Hall Law School, the Lincoln Alexander School of Law at Toronto Metropolitan University, and the University of Toronto Department of Philosophy.
