A graduate of the University of San Diego School of Law and the London School of Economics and Political Science, Dylan Malagrino came to UC Davis following six years of private practice in San Diego.
Full Biography...Professor Malagrino's law practice specialized in complex civil litigation including securities fraud and antitrust class actions. Most recently, he was a senior associate at Kirby Noonan Lance & Hoge LLP in San Diego, practicing persuasive law and motion writing and providing legal theory, analysis, and strategy for the purpose of litigation and appellate arguments.
Professor Malagrino's varied teaching and research interests include property law, comparative property law, law and anthropology, and sports law.

Further, Professor Malagrino has researched and lectured on classical jurisprudence and legal theory; the laws of kinship, sex and gender in testate and intestate distributions of property; and, law in society from both anthropological and juridical perspectives of normative law and legal institutions.
