Biography

Professor Amnon Reichman, of the faculty of law, the University of Haifa, is the Director of the Research Forum on the Study of the Rule of Law, a PI in the Minerva Center for the Study of the Rule of Law Under Extreme Condition, and the former director of the Haifa Center for Cyber Law and Policy. He teaches and researches administrative and constitutional law (Israeli and Comparative), and Law and Cyber. He is also affiliated with Berkeley Law, where he teaches comparative constitutional law.

Reichman is currently leading several projects related to recent development in Israeli constitutional law (primarily the attempt to “reform” the system by amending Israel’s basic laws in a manner that grants greater powers to the governing coalition majority).

In addition, he is involved in projects addressing the regulation of the virtual domain, including the emergence of regulatory sandboxes and jurisprudential significance of the rise of AI models (in the hands of private and public actors).

Lastly, Reichman is working on two longer-term projects. One is addressing the challenges of comparative law (and comparativism more generally) in Habermasian terms. The other relates to Luhmann’s System Theory, as it confronts the cybernetic dimension.
