BiographyMargit
Cohn is a senior lecturer at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, under a
joint
appointment at the Faculty of Law and the Federman School of Public Policy and Government. Cohn was previously a lecturer
in law at the University of Leicester, U.K., and a visiting scholar at
Georgetown University and the University of Oxford. She has taught at the London Centre of Transnational Legal Studies,
Tulane University, and Université Jean Moulin Lyon III. Cohn’s research
interests
in public law include comparative constitutional law, the study of
executive
powers, the nature and politics of judicial review, law
and religion, regulation, and
other aspects of the interaction between law, society, and politics.
Prior to
pursuing an academic career, she served as an in-house counsel at
Israel’s central
bank.
While visiting at Columbia
Law School,
Cohn will teach Comparative Constitutional Law. Her current research focuses
on the nature and workings of the executive branch of government. This comparative
study addresses, inter alia, the extent and styles of legislative grants of
power; the use of “patchwork legislation,” or the existence of several,
partially overlapping statutory arrangements regulating a field, with a focus
on emergency legislation; and presidential executive orders and other
unilateral (semi)formal measures issued by executives, all in a comparative
context.
