Rachel Ringort is a doctoral student in the Faculty of Law at Bar-Ilan University, where she is a member of the BIU LawData Lab. Her research examines questions concerning privacy and data protection issues in dispute resolution, in both online and in-person processes, and private and public settings.

Ayelet Sela is a lecturer (assistant professor) at Bar-Ilan University Faculty of Law, and the Civil Justice and Innovation Fellow at Stanford Law School’s Deborah L.

Predominantly, she explores these themes in the context of online and hybrid procedural options, questioning how the justice system can leverage technology and procedural design to best serve self-represented individuals in these contexts. In her capacity as a founding member of the BIU LawData Lab, Dr. Sela collaborates with data scientists on the application of machine learning methods to legal data and studies questions related to the use of AI tools in governance and court-related contexts. Dr. Sela holds a JSD and JSM from Stanford Law School, and an LL.B from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
