About

The Lab for Law, Data-Science and Digital Ethics at Bar Ilan-University Faculty of Law focuses on two primary research areas: (1) data-driven legal research using various data-science methods (e.g., ML, NLP, social network analysis); (2) normative and ethical analysis, focusing on legal and regulatory aspects of big data, data analytics and AI, and on ensuring proper data governance. The lab is based on an interdisciplinary collaboration between legal researchers from the BIU Faculty of Law and data scientists from the BIU Data Science Institute and other affiliated BIU departments. It also encourages international collaboration between BIU researchers and international partners. Existing collaborations include the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence on Digital Governance (DIGOV) (with Erasmus University and Leeds University) (https://digov.eu/).
