Sheila Foster is University Professor and Albert A. Walsh Professor of Real Estate, Land Use and Property Law at Fordham University School of Law. She is also Faculty Co-Director of the Fordham Urban Law Center. Her scholarship focuses on land use, environmental law, and antidiscrimination law, with a recent emphasis on the legal and theoretical frameworks in which urban land use decisions are made. Professor Foster has published a large number of books, book chapters, and journal articles, most notably Comparative Equality and Antidiscrimination Law: Cases, Codes, Constitutions and Commentary and “Collective Action and the Urban Commons,” published in Notre Dame Law Review, which was voted by land use scholars one of the five best law review articles on land use that year.

Prior to joining the faculty at Fordham, Professor Foster taught at Rutgers University School of Law as well as the University of California Berkeley School of Law, where she graduated from law school.
