Prof. Oren Bar-Gill is one of the leading researchers in the field of law,
economics and psychology. His areas of research include behavioral law and
economics, consumer contracts, contract law and economic analysis of law.
As Harvard Law School Dean Martha Minow said: "Prof. Bar-Gill is an
exceptionally creative scholar whose work draws upon the disciplines of law,
economics and psychology. A pioneer bringing psychological realism into the
economic analysis of law, he addresses consumer and credit card debt and other
important and timely issues. His work marvelously bridges theory and practice,
with influence in public policy.”
Prof. Bar-Gill is a co-reporter for the American Law Institute's project on the Law of Consumer
Contracts. He was a member of the Board of Directors of the American Law and Economics
Association, and advises both government agencies and private sector parties on issues pertaining to
consumer contracts and consumer protection.
In addition to having earned an LL.M. and a S.J.D. from Harvard Law School, Prof. Bar-Gill holds a
