School of Law

Before joining Keele Law School on August 2007, Tsachi has been a Lecturer and Senior Lecturer at the College of Management, School of Law, Israel between 2001 and 2007. Tsachi has taught in the past in Tel Aviv, Bar-Ilan and Montreal universities and visited at Cornell University. He has obtained his LL.B from Tel Aviv University (Magnum cum Laude) in 1995, his LL.M from University of Toronto in 1998 and his D.Jur from Osgoode Hall Law School, York University in 2001. Tsachi has practiced law in Herzog Fox & Neeman in 1995-96 and has been, and is involved in advising NGOs and governmental bodies on human trafficking. Tsachi received several prizes and research grants for his scholarship. His first book, Torts, Egalitarianism and Distributive Justice (Ashgate 2007) was shortlisted for both the 2008 Society of Legal Scholars Peter Birks Book Prize for Outstanding Legal Scholarship, and the 2008 Hart/Socio-Legal Studies Association Book Prize for Early Career Scholars.    

Tsachi's current main teaching subjects are torts and contracts. He is the course director of M.Res Social Sciences Research in Law and he teaches and supervises in MEL and other post graduate programmes.

Tsachi’s main research interests are: tort law, private law theory, egalitarianism in private law, and private law responses to the problem of sex trafficking. His work explains law as a social construct, understands it in its social context and inculcates egalitarianism into private law theory and doctrine. Some of these themes are developed in depth in his book Torts, Egalitarianism and Distributive Justice (Ashgate 2007). Other areas of interest are unjust enrichment, the relationship between gain- and loss-based remedies, between restitution and forfeiture, and between non/legal sanctions. His major current research interest lies with developing private law remedies to victims of trafficking.

Tsachi would be happy to supervise students in the areas of private law theory, torts, restitution, and human trafficking.
