		Frederick Schauer (born 15 January 1946) is the David and Mary Harrison Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Virginia School of Law and Frank Stanton Professor (Emeritus) of the First Amendment at the Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University.[1][2] He is well known for his work on American constitutional law, especially free speech, and on legal reasoning, especially the nature and value of legal formalism.  In 2013, Schauer was the third highest paid professor at UVA Law, earning $302,000 that year.[3]

In his 1982 book Free Speech: A Philosophical Enquiry, Schauer says that government attempts to restrict freedom of expression have resulted in a disproportionate number of government mistakes. He argued that when governments restrict expression, they are incentivized to censor criticism of themselves, which makes it harder for them to assess the cost and benefits of their subsequent actions.[4] At the University of Chicago Law School, wrote an essay with Barbara Spellman, called " Analogy, Expertise, and Experience."[5]
