About

Avi Rubin is an Associate Professor in the Department of Middle East Studies at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. His research focuses on the socio-legal history of the modern Middle East, with a particular emphasis on the late Ottoman period. He explores themes such as historiography, the development of modern legal institutions, legal culture, the rule of law, codification, and political trials. His work offers a critical perspective on the processes of legal modernization in the Ottoman Empire by employing a "law in action" approach that bridges the gap between legal texts and social practices.
