Welcome! My name is Yonathan Arbel and I am a law professor at the University of Alabama. My areas of expertise are AI & Machine Learning (applied & theoretical), contracts, commercial law, and torts. I teach classes and seminars in contracts, contract theory, defamation, AI & the law, sales, and secured transactions. I enjoy thinking about social problems using the tools of law, technology, economics, and sociology, and my work combines both theoretical and empirical approaches to the study of law.

My writings can be found here. I am also happy to respond to media inquires in my areas of expertise, litigation consultations, and questions by aspiring academics. For questions, you can reach me using this link.

The posts section of this blog is used to keep in touch with students and to keep track of stray thoughts. Nothing here represents any formal or professional stance and some ideas are just explored for the sake of exploration.

I am an avid believer that feedback is a true form of generosity. To encourage that, I also welcome anonymous communications, which can be sent through this link.
