Claudio Michelon graduated LLB in 1992 from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) and, in 1996 obtained an M.Phil by research from the same University. He gained his doctorate from the University of Edinburgh in 2001. From 2001 to 2006 he lived in Brazil and was an assistant professor at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul while also practicing as a lawyer. He joined Edinburgh Law School in 2007.
Claudio Michelon's research focuses on (i) legal reasoning and legal decision-making and on (ii) the underlying normative structure of private law doctrines, rules, and concepts.
In relation to legal reasoning, his work investigates a number of related topics, ranging from the role of subjectivity (and in particular of practical perception) in legal decision-making to the structure of particular kinds of legal argument. In his book Being apart form Reasons, he addresses the possibility of insulating different orders of reasons in moral and legal decision-making. In addressing those topics, he draws on diverse philosophical resources, including classical practical philosophy, virtue theory, virtue epistemology, theories of perception, and argumentation theory.
His investigation on private law theory encompasses a number of subjects, in particular the relationship between private law and particular justice (i.e. corrective and distributive justice), the role of private law in structuring the private sphere, and the possibility of conceiving aspects of private law as possessing intrinsic value.
