The course will have two main objectives: 1) to provide a few theoretical frameworks for analyzing the relations between law and politics, focusing on the Rational Choice approach, with short references to different theories of law, and to moral and political philosophy; 2) to provide an introduction to the Israeli legal system, its history and main differences from other legal systems, focusing on the relations between law and politics in Israel. Through examples from key decisions of the Israeli Supreme Court, representing different periods in Israel’s history and different areas of public controversies, the course will show the relevance of theoretical framework(s) to the explanation and evaluation of various legal events. Students will be encouraged to present comparative examples from their own legal system.
