Itai D. Tsur/ Assistant Director

Itai  was born in Israel but grew up primarily in Austin, Texas.  After earning his undergraduate degree from the University of Texas at Austin, Itai served in a combat unit with the Israel Defense Forces Armored Corps, which included a tour of duty in Southern Lebanon.  Itai graduated from Emory University School of Law in 2002, where he was on Moot Court Special Teams and was a co-recipient of the Dean's Public Service Award.  Itai practiced law at firms in New York City and Atlanta for seven years.  He is also a trained mediator.
