law professor, author, and lecturer. She teaches at DePaul University College of Law and received her A.B. in Religious Studies from Brown University and her JD from the University of Pennsylvania Law School.

, and lectures extensively on these topics internationally.

She is one of the leading experts on the doctrine of

The Jewish Week, Commentary Magazine, and The Chicago Tribune

.

One of Kwall's seminal law review articles, "Inspiration and Innovation: The Intrinsic Dimension of the Artistic Soul," asserts that U.S. copyright law relies solely on the theory of economic incentive as motivation for creativity, resulting in a flawed system of legal protection for authors' works as compared to other legal systems that incorporate moral rights based on internal motivations for human creativity that have nothing to do with money. This piece also explores creativity theory from a Jewish and Christian perspective.^[2]

Kwall's publications also include several casebooks in

Oxford Handbook

of Jewish Law.
