Yuval is a J.S.D. candidate at Yale Law School, where he also obtained his LL.M. degree in 2025. Yuval is also a resident fellow at the Information Society Project and a Solomon Center Student Fellow, both at Yale Law School.
Before coming to Yale, Yuval worked in the Litigation Department of one of Israel’s leading law firms and became a member of the Israeli Bar Association. He earned his LL.B. (Magna cum Laude) and an LL.M. (Summa cum Laude), both from Tel Aviv University. During his studies in Israel, Yuval served as co-Editor-in-Chief of the Tel Aviv University Law Review and worked as a research and teaching assistant in various fields.

Yuval’s research interests are Comparative Constitutional Law, Election Law, and the Law of Democracy. His J.S.D. dissertation aims to focus on contemporary challenges of Election Law, including: the growing dominance of illiberal political players in democracies, and the possibility of using the concept of militant democracy in this regard; difficulties in verifying information vital for democratic discourse, especially due to technological changes; and the impact of national emergencies, such as armed conflicts, on the ability to secure fair elections.
