Before founding Learned Hand, Shlomo clerked for the Honorable Steven J. Menashi on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, litigated complex commercial disputes at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, and worked as a deployment strategist at Palantir Technologies in both the commercial and government sectors. Earlier in his career, he was a behavioral researcher in Dan Ariely’s lab at Duke University.
Shlomo received his J.D. from Yale Law School, where he won the Thomas I. Emerson Prize for his writing, and holds a B.S. in Economics from the Wharton School and a B.A. in European History from the University of Pennsylvania, both summa cum laude. He has published in the Brooklyn Law Review and Buffalo Law Journal, the Sedona Conference Journal, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal. He has been featured on the LawNext podcast, Lawfare, Legally Disrupted, and the AI Skeptics podcast, and has spoken at judicial conferences nationwide on the intersection of AI, institutional legitimacy, and access to justice.
