Israel Law Reports

Israel’s judicial system is made up of secular courts and religious courts, constituting a separate and independent unit of Israel’s Ministry of Justice, run by the President of the Supreme Court and the Minister of Justice. The Supreme Court has ultimate appellate jurisdiction over all other civil and military courts, and in some cases, original jurisdiction in criminal and civil cases. The High Court of Justice or otherwise the Israeli Supreme Court sometimes acts not as an appellate body to the district court but as an overseer of justice against the lower courts.
