    TO CONCUR, OR NOT TO CONCUR: THAT IS THE QUESTION: THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL QUESTIONS REGARDING THE JUDICIAL INDEPENDENCE OF JUDGES APPOINTED TEMPORARILY TO THE ISRAELI SUPREME COURT A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE STANFORD PROGRAM IN INTERNATIONAL LEGAL STUDIES AT THE STANFORD LAW SCHOOL, STANFORD UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF THE SCIENCE OF LAW By Binyamin Blum © May 2006 Please do not cite without permission of author ABSTRACT In many democratic societies, judicial tenure is perceived to be an important safeguard for the judiciary’s independence. In Israel, although judicial tenure is secured under Basic Law: The Judiciary, the promotion of judges from Israel’s District Courts to the Supreme Court is usually preceded by a temporary appointment. In practice, this temporary appointment serves as a “probationary period” after which the judges are considered for the permanent position of Associate Justice. One of the important implications of this promotion system is that while serving on Israel’s highest court, temporarily appointed judges continue to depend on external forces to retain their offices. Therefore, I argue that from a theoretical standpoint, temporary appointments pose a substantial threat to the judicial independence of individual judges. Because of the significant role played by Supreme Court Justices in the appointment process, I identify the threat to judicial independence as primarily originating within the judiciary, rather than from other branches of government. The major objective of this study is to examine the degree to which the theoretical threat to internal judicial independence can be seen to materialize in the Israeli Supreme Court example.

  • Regulation of Israeli Lawyers: from Professional Autonomy to Multi- Institutional Regulation
    ZIV FINAL 3/2/2009 8:46:47 AM REGULATION OF ISRAELI LAWYERS: FROM PROFESSIONAL AUTONOMY TO MULTI- INSTITUTIONAL REGULATION Neta Ziv* INTRODUCTION** Since the 1950s, research on the social organization of lawyers has attracted legal scholars and social scientists interested in jurisprudence and the justice system. Law is no longer considered only a system of state commands or a technical mechanism to resolve disputes, but also a body of knowledge shaped by experts and professionals and a site of power for controlling the production of such knowledge. Thus, questions about the groups that comprise the legal profession have become an integral part of research about law and the legal system. Lawyers, a dominant group within the legal profession (alongside judges and the legal academia), are part of “law making.” As Philip S. C. Lewis contends, “[lawyers] stand between the formal legal system and those who are subject to or take advantage of it.”1 They are necessary agents for people who wish to enjoy the protection of law. They draw legal materials that constitute the basis of legal arguments and reasoning. They formulate contracts, take part in drafting legislation, manage negotiations, and are necessary agents within adjudication.2 This Symposium inquires into the relationship between lawyers and democracy. The richness of its essays attests to the variety of paradigms in which one could examine this question. As Fred Zacharias describes in the opening remarks to his essay in this volume, one could ask whether lawyers can promote the values of democracy, given frequent inconsistencies * Tel Aviv University Faculty of Law.

    LINGUISTIC AND SPATIAL PRACTICE IN A DIVIDED LANDSCAPE by Abigail Sone A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of PhD Graduate Department of Anthropology University of Toronto © Copyright by Abigail Sone 2009 LINGUISTIC AND SPATIAL PRACTICE IN A DIVIDED LANDSCAPE Abigail Sone Department of Anthropology University of Toronto PhD 2009 Abstract of Thesis This dissertation demonstrates how changes in spatial boundaries map on to changes in the boundaries of national belonging through an ethnography of linguistic and spatial practice in a divided landscape. In Israel, as in many places around the globe, new forms of segregation have emerged in recent years, as violence and the fear of violence become increasingly bound up with the production of social difference and exclusion. In Wadi Ara, a valley in the north of the country where my fieldwork was based, segregation between Jewish and Palestinian citizens has dramatically increased since the fall of 2000, as the place of Palestinians in a Jewish state is being reconfigured. In this dissertation I focus on the changing movements and interactions of Jewish Israelis in Wadi Ara as they articulate with changes in the ways difference, belonging, and citizenship are organized on a national scale. I examine how increased hostility, fear, and distrust have become spatialized; how narratives of the past shape contemporary geographies; how competing ways of interpreting and navigating the landscape are mediated; and how particular forms of encounter are framed. My central argument is that through daily linguistic and spatial practice people in Wadi Ara do more than just make sense of shifting boundaries; they bring these boundaries into being and, in the process, they enact both self‐definition and exclusion, reflecting and circumscribing ii the changing place of Palestinians in Israel.

  • Democracy, Identity and Security in Israel's Ethnic Democracy
    DEMOCRACY, IDENTITY AND SECURITY IN ISRAEL’S ETHNIC DEMOCRACY: THE IDEATIONAL UNDERPINNINGS OF INSTITUTIONAL CHANGE By Dubi Kanengisser A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Dubi Kanengisser, 2016 Democracy, Identity and Security in Israel’s Ethnic Democracy: The Ideational Underpinnings of Institutional Change, Doctor of Philosophy, 2016, Dubi Kanengisser, Graduate Department of Political Science, University of Toronto Abstract This work expands on the growing ideational institutionalist literature by proposing that institutional change and stability are influenced most substantially by changes to the underlying ideational network which link core societal ideas. These core ideas create the framework on which institutions are built and in which form they are fashioned. Changes to the ideational network lead to adaptive changes in institutions, but the difficulty in completely removing core ideas from these networks protects the institutions from substantial change. The theory is demonstrated using the case of the surprising stability of ethnic democracy in Israel in the wake of the substantial changes to the country’s economic and security realities. Small adaptive changes in the institution of ethnic democracy are traced back to changes in the balance between three core ideas: democracy, Jewish identity, and security. The overall stability of the institution, however, is linked to the enduring linkages of the three core ideas even as they experienced changes in their individual meanings. ii Too many years the Israeli left also accepted the separation between Jews and Arabs. First by looking away, then through submission, and finally wholeheartedly, it adopted the racist world view that the Arabs are not part of the political game.

Amongst the most criticized interventions are the Court’s rulings on military matters. These are so numerous that the Supreme Court is now considered to be the final authority on what the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) can do or not do in warfare. The origin of such a phenomenon is a progressive but clear “judicialization” of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

  • Laudatio Aus Anlass Der Verleihung Der Ehrendoktorwürde an Herrn Professor Dr
    Laudatio aus Anlass der Verleihung der Ehrendoktorwürde an Herrn Professor Dr. Eli Salzberger am 19. Juni 2019 Dear Eli, what an honor to be standing here and to deliver a laudatio in your honor. When I heard that my faculty was planning to award you an honorary degree – I was actually quite excited. And now I even have the honor to deliver a short laudation. For those of you, who do not know Prof. Salzberger yet, let me say a couple of words on his background: His father was a well-known Jerusalem-based gynecologist and his mother used to be the deputy mayor of Jerusalem between 1970 and 1980 – the time when Teddy Kollek served as mayor. Between 1978 and 1983 he was part of the intelligence unit within the Israeli Defense Forces, a unit in which he would meet many future colleagues among which also his future wife Fania, who is here today. Already during his time in the military, Salzberger started to study social sciences at Tel Aviv university. He received his first degree in law in 1987 at the Hebrew University as the best student of his year. Simultaneously, he was awarded a bacherlor’s degree in economics. Subsequently, he clerked with Aharon Barak at the Israeli Supreme Court and later with Dorit Beinish who was the deputy prosecutor of Israel at the time. Both Barak and Beinish would later become the chief justice of the Israeli Supreme Court and I believe it is fair to say that Barak was one of the most influential judges of the second half of the 20th century worldwide.

Do scholars, teachers, judges, or jurists in mixed-legal jurisdictions differ from their colleagues in “pure” jurisdictions? Naturally, jurists in a mixed jurisdiction are usually educated in their home country and are therefore trained to work within its hybrid-legal environment. But do they also have a particular awareness of the idea of mixed-legal systems? Do they share a sense of responsibility towards the special character of their mixed jurisdiction? In this piece, I investigate these questions by analyzing the mixed-legal

  • 8-IS3.2 Salzbergers (159-192)
    Fania Oz-Salzberger and Eli Salzberger The Secret German Sources of the Israeli Supreme Court THERE ARE SEVERAL GOOD REASONS for the recent mounting interest in the history of Israel’s legal and judicial system. Israel is going through an era of enhanced legalization, which is apparent in stronger emphases on consti- tutional norms and discourse, in the increasing strength of legal institu- tions, and in a greater public sense of the powers of litigation. Gone is the traditional contempt for resorting to the court that characterized the ruling Labor movement during Israel’s formative years. The law and the courts have become one of the country’s most signiWcant political establishments. The legal professions have acquired unprecedented prestige. Lawyers and judges have become media celebrities as never before. Above all, the Su- preme Court of Israel is emerging as the dominant branch of government. It is moving center-stage in the collective decision-making process in Israel, aVording an unusual degree of intervention in the conduct of the other branches of government, and thus attracting ever greater attention, as well as criticism, from the Israeli media and public. The question why all this has happened is yet to be answered. On top of the inherent weakness of judicial branches of most governments,1 in Israel the lack of a written constitution could be expected to make the Supreme Court even more fragile and dependent than equivalent institu- tions elsewhere. Yet a close look at the reaction of the legislative and executive branches of government in Israel to the growing power of the Supreme Court would lead to opposite conclusions.
