In 1980 he received his JD from University of California Berkeley Law School and an MA in economics from, Berkeley the University of California, Berkeley Economics Department as part of Berkeley's then nascent law and economics concurrent degree program. Prior to teaching at Arizona, Prof. Ratner was for 5 years a prosecutor at the Antitrust Division of the United States Dept. of Justice in Washington D.C. His research is typically interdisciplinary, encompassing several different areas of law as well as disciplines such as economics and psychology. His marital property publications include analysis of joint tenancy with right of survivorship property held by married couples in community property jurisdictions, analysis of child support and other premarital debts in community property jurisdictions, analysis of the nature of creditor and debtor windfalls resulting from divorce in community property jurisdictions, and analysis of "equitable" vs. "equal" distributions of community property at divorce and death. Prof. Ratner has also authored a case book for his Arizona-based community property course which, consistent with his antitrust background and his loathing of the uncompetitive overpricing of law school course casebooks, he provides without charge to his students in hard copy as well as by posting it in digital form on his course web site.\n \nAbout the Panelists\n \nAnn C.
