About Me

I’m a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Copenhagen. My research lies at the intersection of Private Law and Law and Economics, with a focus on contracts, torts, civil procedure, and the quantification of damages in complex commercial cases. I apply economic theory and methods to questions of legal reasoning.

I hold a Ph.D. from Copenhagen Business School and a Candidatus Juris from the University of Copenhagen. Before entering academia, I practiced as an attorney at Plesner Law Firm. I’ve been a visiting researcher at UC Berkeley School of Law and the University of Tor Vergata in Rome, and a visiting student at Yale University. In 2023 I was a fellow at The Danish Academy in Rome.

I’m a member of the Research Group for Advanced Legal Methods and the Research Group on the Dogmatic Method (DOGME) at the University of Copenhagen. I co-founded the Nordic Forum for Law and Economics and organize a work-in-progress seminar series at the Center for Commercial and Public Law.

From 2015 to 2019, I helped conceptual artist Stine Marie Jacobsen develop Law Shifters, a participatory art project that brings law into public conversation. I taught students about the law and rights and had them write their own laws. We also ran mock trials based on real cases, for instance presenting the facts of a 1999 case on sharing offensive material online and letting participants argue and judge it with present-day perspectives. The project has since been exhibited and workshopped across Europe and the Middle East.

I publish under the names Rasmus Arler Bogetoft, Rasmus Arler Kamstrup Bogetoft, Rasmus Kamstrup Bogetoft, and Rasmus A. K. Bogetoft.
