The first - 2016 - edition of the Global Review of Constitutional Law, to which the Clough Center was a proud partner, received the outstanding reception it deserved as it quickly established itself as an indispensable resource for the world community. The 2017 edition, with its expanded number of jurisdictions, will undoubtedly solidify the reputation of the Global Review. The Clough Center for the Study of Constitutional Democracy aims to offer a platform that meets, in depth and scope, the urgency of the ongoing challenges to constitutional democracy. Each year, we welcome to Boston College some of the world’s leading jurists, historians, political scientists, philosophers and social theorists to participate in our programs and initiatives. The Center also welcomes visiting scholars from around the world, and I use this opportunity to encourage interested scholars to contact us. More information about the Center’s activities, including free access to the Clough Archive, is available at http://www.bc.edu/centers/cloughcenter.html. The Clough Center is deeply grateful to all the contributors to this year’s Global Review, and to its editors. Particular thanks go to Professor Richard Albert, a trusted friend and partner of the Clough Center, for his vision and initiative in turning the Global Review into reality. 2018 Global Review of Constitutional Law | 5 THE GLOBAL REVIEW TURNS THREE Richard Albert and David Landau Founding Co-Editors of I·CONnect and Co-Editors of the Global Review Pietro Faraguna and Simon Drugda Co-Editors of the Global Review This year marks the third edition of the I·CONnect-Clough Center Global Review of Constitutional Law.

  • The Lgbt Community in Israel: Access to the Surrogacy Procedure and Legal Right for Equality, Family Life and Parenthood
    RUCH PRAWNICZY, EKONOMICZNY I SOCJOLOGICZNY ROK LXXXIII – zeszyt 1 – 2021 https://doi.org/10.14746/rpeis.2021.83.1.7 YAEL ILANY*, NETTA ILANY** THE LGBT COMMUNITY IN ISRAEL: ACCESS TO THE SURROGACY PROCEDURE AND LEGAL RIGHT FOR EQUALITY, FAMILY LIFE AND PARENTHOOD I. INTRODUCTION In Israel, the surrogacy procedure for procreation has been performed and regulated under law since 1996, in contrast to Poland where surrogacy is un- regulated, and to some EU Member States who ban surrogacy. The article focuses on the right to parenthood of LGBT1 people in Israel and their access to surrogacy. That LGBT people have attained rights equal to those of hetero- sexual people in Israel is demonstrated through the issue of surrogacy, in light of a recent Supreme Court ruling.2 The President of the Supreme Court Ester Hayut determined in HCJ 781/15 that the Surrogacy Law3 and the Egg Donation Law4 together create the surrogacy procedure (hereinafter: ‘surrogacy arrangement’ or ‘surrogacy procedure’), harm in an unproportion- able manner single men and male couples’ constitutional rights to equality * Yael Ilany, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, [email protected], https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6111-1730. ** Netta Ilany, Advocate, Tel Aviv, Israel, [email protected], https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9413-4266. 1 LGBTQ+: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and the ‘plus’ is inclusive of other groups, such as asexual, intersex, queer, questioning, etc. (hereinafter: ‘LGBT’ or ‘LGBT commu- nity’, or ‘LGBT people’). 2 HCJ 781/15 Etai Arad Pinkas v Committee for Approval of Agreements of Embryo Carrying According to Embryo Carrying Agreement Law (Approval of Agreement and Status of the New- born) 1996, and others, partial decision 27 Feburuary 2020 (hereinafter: ‘HCJ 781/15 2020’ or ‘second partial decision’).

Yet what if the life of the law has been both logic and experience? What if the law has its own structure, taxonomy, and unwaivable principles, which in turn operate to make the world a better place, even in extra-legal terms (economic, social, or otherwise)? This debate, regarding the proper balance between internal and external perspectives on the law, continues to unfold today.

Civic Identity in the Jewish State and the Changing Landscape of Israeli Constitutionalism Submitted To Professor George Thomas by Mohamad Batal for Senior Thesis Spring 2018 April 23, 2018 ii iii iv Abstract: This thesis begins with an explanation of Israel’s foundational constitutional tension—namely, that its identity as a Jewish State often conflicts with liberal- democratic principles to which it is also committed. From here, I attempt to sketch the evolution of the state’s constitutional principles, pointing to Chief Justice Barak’s “constitutional revolution” as a critical juncture where the aforementioned theoretical tension manifested in practice, resulting in what I call illiberal or undemocratic “moments.” More profoundly, by introducing Israel’s constitutional tension into the public sphere, the Barak Court’s jurisprudence forced all of the Israeli polity to confront it. My next chapter utilizes the framework of a bill currently making its way through the Knesset—Basic Law: Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish People—in order to draw out the past and future of Israeli civic identity.

A fundamental discussion of the scope of the doctrine may be found in three important legal cases, which coined the term “the ripeness doctrine, Israel style.” A review of these cases reveals that while there is widespread consensus among the Israeli Supreme Court justices regarding the actual adoption of the ripeness doctrine, there is disagreement – and even confusion – regarding the manner of its implementation. In this article, I would like to present a principled position that opposes the adoption of the
