Series Description:

Hundreds of thousands of Israelis have been protesting in the streets against Prime Minister Netanyahu's plans to overhaul the Israeli Supreme Court.  

Solomonic Justice explains why the independence of Israel's highest court is so important to preserving democracy in this island of democracy in the Middle East.

Solomonic Justice: How the Israeli Supreme Court Has Become a Beacon of Justice in the Middle East:

Retired Israeli  Supreme Court Justice Eliezer Rivlin said, “In his new book ‘Solomonic  Justice’ Joel D. Joseph masterfully analyses some of the most prominent decisions of Israel's Supreme Court and brings them gracefully to public light. Solomon's wisdom, both Just and Humane is displayed in Israel's Supreme Court decisions, notes the author, in a court that is balanced, considerate of opposing interests, and open to all. 

The book weaves a history of Israel’s legal system and how it has  developed into the champion of Basic Rights in this fledgling democracy. 

The author shows a keen grasp of the Israeli System, and writes with an easy to read clarity while giving the material the depth it deserves.”
