Le professeur Fox-Decent est disposé à superviser des étudiants et étudiantes de cycles supérieurs qui s'intéressent à la théorie du droit, aux questions se trouvant à l'intersection de la théorie du droit et de la théorie politique ou de la philosophie, ou encore aux débuts de l'histoire du droit moderne.
