From 1984 until 1999, Hazard served as Director of the American Law Institute (ALI). In that capacity, he was responsible for supervising the launch of the third series of the Restatements of the Law, which continues to the present. He has been credited by ALI with coming up with the idea of breaking up the larger Restatements (Torts and Property) into smaller pieces to be analyzed one at a time in Restatement Third. As Director Emeritus, he continued to serve on the Institute's council.
Hazard was a leading expert in the fields of civil procedure and legal ethics. His treatise, Civil Procedure (5th ed. 2001, with Fleming James Jr. and John Leubsdorf), is a mainstay of American legal education. He continued to write prodigiously including the ALI/UNIDROIT Principles of Transnational Civil Procedure which upon approval by the sponsoring organizations has become a model of civil procedure for international commercial disputes, and many articles, particularly on joinder, including class actions, and discovery. His casebook, Pleading and Procedure: State and Federal (9th ed. 2005, with Colin Tait, William A. Fletcher and Stephen Bundy), is widely used in American law schools. In professional ethics, his book, Legal Ethics: A Comparative Study (with Angelo Dondi) compares ethics in the legal professions of modern industrialized countries. He is also author of The Law of Lawyering (3rd ed. 2000, with William Hodes, and, after 2007, Peter R. Jarvis), a treatise on legal ethics that is updated annually. He often acted as an expert witness in both fields.
Among Hazard's better-known students is current US Supreme CourtJusticeSamuel Alito. Alito also worked as Hazard's research assistant when he taught at Yale.[1]
He taught at U.C. Berkeley's Boalt Hall and at the University of Chicago Law School.
From 1980 to 1981 he also served as the 2nd Dean of the Yale School of Management, succeeding the former SEC Chairman and US Under Secretary of State, Bill Donaldson who was the inaugural Dean.[4]
