Rogue Justice
The Rise of Judicial Supremacy in Israel
Israels Supreme Court
Israels Supreme Court is the most powerful in the democratic world. But how did a handful of unelected judges come to hold such sway over a nations laws, politics, and future? In Rogue Justice, Israeli-American attorney Yonatan Green recounts the Courts extraordinary rise - and the bitter controversy it has unleashed.
Through close analysis of landmark rulings, novel doctrines, and the structural features of Israels legal system, Green traces the Courts ascent from a modest judicial institution to the central arbiter of Israels political and social disputes. Revealing how judicial supremacy came to dominate Israeli governance, the book situates Israels constitutional crisis within broader global debates of pressing concern for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers alike.
As Israel faces a new constitutional showdown, Rogue Justice is an urgent and accessible guide to the struggle over law, democracy, and power in the Jewish state.
