In 1987, he joined the faculty of the University of Michigan Law School.[2] Four years later, he joined the faculty of Penn Law as a professor, and in 2004 was named the Frank Carano Professor of Law.[2]
Katz's work focuses on criminal law, and his explorations of the paradoxes of criminal law and deontological theory help facilitate a deeper understanding of philosophical and legal issues. For example, by investigating crimes of coercion and deception, economic crimes like tax evasion, and crimes without apparent victims, he tries to shed light more generally on problems of consent, the use and abuse of legal stratagems, and the nature of harm throughout the law.
