Appointment of the Highest Court’s President

The President of the Supreme Court is the figure who stands at the head of the judicial branch, which constitutes one of Israel’s three branches of power. Responsibility for leading an independent and efficient judicial branch, guided by justice and fairness, is borne by the President, who must navigate in the stormy seas of Israel’s diverse society. Alongside the President’s official role, they bear primary responsibility for managing the legal system and the Supreme Court’s work. [1] The President’s main roles number deciding the composition of Supreme Court judicial panels, deciding motions for leave for a further hearing, serving on the Judicial Selection Committee, granting guidelines to judges in all judicial instances, setting judicial standards, and appointing teams for assistance and oversight of judicial work efficiency. As a judge, the President is the first among equals, but thanks to their status and role, they have exceptional influence on how the caselaw develops on various topics.
