ISLAT Fellows
Institute Faculty
Institute faculty appointments are made to resident university faculty as well as to non-resident scholars. A visiting scholar may also receive a joint appointment to an academic unit within the university, although such an appointment is not a requirement for establishing an Institute affiliation. Appointments are made for varying lengths of time and are renewable annually.

Leon Lederman shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1988 for the discovery of the muon neutrino and received the acclaimed Enrico Fermi prize in 1992. Professor Lederman's career in high-energy physics spans more than five decades, beginning with work at Columbia University, where his team discovered the long-lived neutral K-meson particle. At Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois, he and his collaborators discovered the long-sought elementary particle "beauty" or "bottom" quark. These and other innovative experiments at Brookhaven National Laboratory and at CERN laboratory have earned for him the reputation as one of the world's leading high-energy physicists.

Professor Nagib has received numerous awards for his research, including the Robert T. Knapp award from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the Outstanding Research Achievement Award from NASA.

Professor Perritt is the author of more than 45 law review articles and 15 books on technology and law and employment law, including Law and the Information Superhighway. He served on President Clinton's Transition Team, working on telecommunications issues, and drafted principles for electronic dissemination of public information, which formed the core of the Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendments adopted by the Congress in 1996.
A. Dan Tarlock teaches courses in land use, property, energy and natural resource law, environmental policy, and international environmental law. Professor Tarlock is a frequent consultant to local, state, federal and international agencies, private groups and law firms, and is an elected member of the American Law Institute. In 1988, Professor Tarlock was appointed to the Water Science and Technology Board of the National Academy of Sciences. From 1989-92 he was the chair of a National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council committee to study water management in the western United States.
Richard Warner was an assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Southern California and the University of Pennsylvania before attending law school. Mr. Warner holds a J.D. from the University of Southern California, where he served on the Law Review and was elected to the Order of the Coif.
