Dr. Alon Jasper is a Lecturer in Tel Aviv University Faculty of Law. He was previously a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Faculty of Law, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and a Global Postdoctoral Fellow at NYU School of Law, affiliated with the Institute for International Law and Justice (IILJ). He holds a PhD, LLM, and LLB from Tel Aviv University, Faculty of Law. During his studies, he was a fellow of the Azrieli Foundation and the Chief Justice Meir Shamgar Center for Digital Law and Innovation.

Alon’s research explores the concept of infrastructure as a legal category, both historically and concerning contemporary regulation. As part of the 3GDR project, he examines how recent European legislation governing digital services and global value chains embeds infrastructural logics, and how these intersect with digital rights-based approaches. His project develops an analytical framework for understanding the relationship between rights and infrastructures in digital governance.

His doctoral dissertation focused on the regulation of railroads in nineteenth-century America and its relevance for current regulatory debates. He also writes on institutional aspects of the Israeli judiciary, including the first comprehensive study of its social and professional composition. In addition, his work engages with questions of equality and democracy in Israel-Palestine, including co-authored studies on the Palestinian Authority’s engagement with international human rights bodies and on digital inequality between Jewish and Palestinian communities in Israel.

He clerked in the Israeli Supreme Court. His papers can be found here. For the Israeli Judiciary Database, see here.
