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

Solomonic Justice is being published on World Day of Social Justice to highlight the Israeli Supreme Court’s profound respect for social justice and access to justice. 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.” Solomonic Justice is published in English and Hebrew. Joseph is author of 18 books on the law including Black Mondays: Worst Decisions of the Supreme Court. The Fifth Edition of this book is being published today. Mr. Joseph is also author of Injustice Department: An Elected Attorney General and an Independent Department of Justice, published today. Joseph calls for the election of the U.S. Attorney General to prevent the President from exerting control over the Department of Justice. Jesse Wegman, on the Editorial Board of the New York Times wrote, “Joel Joseph provides a fascinating, in-depth and very readable history of the nation's most controversial attorneys general. His provocative proposal is worth serious consideration by anyone who believes that independent law enforcement is necessary to the survival of a democracy.” All three books demonstrate the importance of a system of justice that is independent, accessible to the public and fair in its application of the law.
