Kevin Davis is the Beller Family Professor of Business Law at NYU School of Law, where his research focuses on the relationship between law and economic development, corruption, and the use of foreign law in domestic contexts.
His recent paper, The Significance of Foreign Law: A Jamaican Case Study, explores how laws originating outside Jamaica have influenced the country’s homicide rates—raising important questions about legal borrowing and local impact.
The video of Prof. Davis’s October 6, 2025 presentation at the University of Toronto, and the discussion that followed, is now available on-line. See YouTube link below.
