Short Biography

Hadar Dancig-Rosenberg is a Professor of Law and Associate Dean for International Affairs at the Bar-Ilan University Faculty of Law (tenured 2015). She is a Visiting Professor at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law (winters 2023-2025). Prof. Dancig-Rosenberg specializes in criminal law and procedure, with areas of expertise including the philosophy of criminal law, criminal justice reform and alternatives to incarceration, therapeutic, non-adversarial, and community-oriented criminal justice models, and the interface between criminal law and gender theories. She has been the Helen Diller Institute Visiting Professor at UC Berkeley (2016-2018, summer 2020, 2021-2023) and is an Affiliate at the Center for the Study of Law and Society at Berkeley Law. Prof. Dancig-Rosenberg is the recipient of the 2024 Phi Beta Kappa Northern California Association Excellence in Teaching Award (https://pbknca.com/Teaching).

Prof. Dancig-Rosenberg earned a Ph.D. (with highest distinction) and LL.B. (Summa Cum Laude) from Bar-Ilan University and LL.M. (Summa Cum Laude) from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Her Ph.D. dissertation discusses the criminal liability of an accomplice for unforeseen crimes committed by a co-principal while committing a planned crime, drawing on insights from moral philosophy. After graduating, she clerked for the State of Israel Attorney (Ret. Justice) Edna Arbel. Before joining Bar-Ilan, she was a clinical professor and the academic director of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem Legal Clinic for Violence Against Women (2005-2009).

As co-chair of the Israeli Criminal Law Association, Prof. Dancig-Rosenberg serves as a member of the Advisory Committee for the Israeli Minister of Justice on Criminal Procedure and Evidence Law. She was also a member of the Advisory Committee for the Israeli Minister of Justice on Formulating Measures to Protect the Public Against Cyberbullying. Her work has been published in leading American, European, and Israeli law journals. She has received numerous research grants and awards for excellence in teaching and research, including the BIU Rector Prize for Scientific Innovation (University-wide, 2024), the Cheshin Prize for Academic Excellence in Legal Research for young scholars (2014), the Cohn Prize for best article (2013), the Rector Prize for Outstanding Lecturer (2012), and the Feldman Prize for Academic Excellence and Community Involvement (2005).

After serving as co-PI of the first evaluation study on community courts in Israel (sponsored by Joint-Ashalim), Prof. Dancig-Rosenberg is currently co-PI of empirical research at the Red Hook Community Justice Center in NYC, exploring what success at the justice center means to its various stakeholders and audiences. Additionally, she is co-PI of a three-year empirical study sponsored by the Israel Science Foundation (ISF), which investigates the transformation of retribution through parole for long-term prisoners. Two of her recent empirical studies were sponsored by the Center of Long-Term Cybersecurity at UC Berkeley (exploring social media as an alternative setting for achieving informal justice for sexual assault survivors) and the Israeli Ministry of Science and Technology in collaboration with Horizon 2020 of the European Union (analyzing the causes and manifestations of various forms of violence against women migrants and refugees and suggesting policy responses and legal remedies).
