Law
israel is a country with constant judicial dilemmas.
tensions between security and human rights, Jewish law
and democracy, and minority rights keep the israeli law
system ever-changing and evolving.
What roles do the religious judicial systems of islam,
christianity and Judaism play in the public sphere?
Are minorities represented in the legislative process? How
do courts juxtapose values of freedom and safety? How is
israeli law influenced by Ottoman and British empire laws?
All this and more will be explored on a trip that will include
visits, meetings, panels and classes with senior officials
and leading experts in israeli law.
