Shai Dothan

Dothan was born in Israel in 1981 to Ilana and Yoav Dothan.

Between 1995 and 1997 he participated in a two-year gymnasium program for the most talented youths in the region. When he turned 16, he started his LL.B. at Tel Aviv University. In 2001, he graduated magna cum laude. He continued his studies at the same institute and in 2003 he received his LLM with a thesis in Administrative Law (summa cum laude). He earned his PhD in 2011 from Tel Aviv University.

Professor Eyal Benvenisti supervised his PhD dissertation, which was titled "Reputation and Judicial Strategy– Tactics of National and International Courts". Dothan continued to research the topic. This work formed the basis of his first book, published with Cambridge University Press in 2015.

Dothan was a Fox Fellow at Yale University. He got the Rothschild Fellowship[https://www.yadhanadiv.org.il/rothschild-fellows Rothschild Fellowship] and went as a Post-Doctoral Fellow to the University of Chicago Law School. Later he was also a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem Faculty of Law and Tel Aviv University Faculty of Law as well as a Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law.
