2026-2028 Rappaport Fellow
GABRIEL KARGER
Gabriel Karger is the 2026-2028 Rappaport Fellow at Harvard Law School. He is a legal philosopher with interests in tort law and anti-discrimination law. Gabriel’s current research aims to better understand how courts do and should understand causation requirements in both domains. His tort projects include research on the causal link requirement and the use of moralized counterfactual baselines to calculate damages; his anti-discrimination work aims to better understand when a plaintiff is injured “because of,” or “on the basis of,” a protected trait–particularly when but-for reasoning about the plaintiff is impossible. Gabriel has an AB in Philosophy from Harvard College, a JD from Columbia Law School, and is completing his PhD in Politics at Princeton University. His work is forthcoming in Law and Philosophy.
