[2] Webber joined the faculty at Boston University School of Law in 2010 and became the Associate Dean for Intellectual Life in July 2019.

[3] He has appeared on C-SPAN's Book TV[4] Minnesota Public Radio's Marketplace,[5] the David Feldman Show,[6] The David Pakman Show,[7] the Social Europe podcast,[8] and Knowledge@Wharton Business Radio,[9] and written opinion pieces for The New York Times,[10] The Washington Post,[11] and the Los Angeles Times.

For public retirees receiving defined benefit pensions, taxpayers have to pay the difference if returns are lower due to activist activities.

[14] Webber has identified multiple threats to this kind of shareholder activism, including moves from centrally-managed pension plans to individual 401(k)s and Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, Council 31, which held that unions cannot collect fees from non-union members.

[29] He has found that institutional investors, such as Fidelity, Vanguard, and TIAA-CREF often avoid being a lead plaintiff because they are concerned competitors will benefit from the litigation without contributing to the costs.

[33] Webber has conducted empirical research into who brings lawsuits to challenge mergers and acquisitions in Delaware, and found pension funds are often the lead plaintiffs in these suits.

[34] He also found that when institutional investors are named as the lead plaintiffs, it is more likely that the final price will exceed the initial offer and there are lower attorneys' fees.
