Weinreb received bachelor's degrees from
Dartmouth College (1957) and
Oxford University (1959; M.A., 1963) before taking his
LL.B. from Harvard Law School in 1962. He has spent several semesters as a visiting professor at Fordham Law School. Prior to beginning his teaching career, Lloyd Weinreb served as a
clerk for
John Marshall Harlan II of the
United States Supreme Court, and then as a criminal prosecutor in
Washington, D.C. His research interests included criminal law, criminal procedure, intellectual property, and legal and political philosophy. Despite lacking the celebrity professor status of some of his colleagues at Harvard Law School, Professor Weinreb was highly regarded by students and faculty. He was described as "a remarkable model of competence and clarity". The
Harvard Law Record ranked him among the 'ten professors whose classes you won't want to miss'. == Notable publications ==
