Bio

Jason Isralowitz was born in Booth Memorial Hospital in Queens, not far from the former home of Manny Balestrero and the streets where Alfred Hitchcock filmed parts of The Wrong Man. He has loved movies ever since seeing Jaws and The Omen on the big screen at the impressionable age of seven. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in journalism from Boston University in 1990, Jason attended University of Pennsylvania Law School.

Jason has practiced law in Manhattan for almost three decades and is currently a partner at Hogan Lovells US LLP. He has successfully argued cases before the Iowa Supreme Court and several federal district courts. Jason also heads the Hogan Lovells New York high school mentoring program, which pairs the firm with a Bronx school for moot court and mock trial competitions.

While at Penn Law School, Jason wrote The Reporter as Citizen: Newspaper Ethics and Constitutional Values, 141 U. Pa. L. Rev. 221 (1993). The article won a John Peter Zenger Society award for First Amendment scholarship.

Jason is also the author of “Lonely Hearts and Murderers: The Fourth Amendment Through Hitchcock’s Lens,” an article on Rear Window published in the Legal Studies Forum in 2000. Jason and his wife, Jennifer, reside in Summit, New Jersey, and have two children, Rachel and Danny.
