Three Supreme Court Justices on Israel’s Judicial Overhaul

Justices Rosalie Abella, Stephen Breyer, and Dorit Beinisch in Conversation with Ronald Daniels

Apr 16, 2023


Israel’s new government is promoting a sweeping set of constitutional changes designed to concentrate power in the executive branch and limit the independence of the judiciary. In response, hundreds of thousands of Israelis have taken to the streets. Is Israeli democracy in danger?

Join three former supreme court justices from Israel, the United States, and Canada—Dorit Beinisch (Israel), Stephen Breyer (US), and Rosalie Abella (Canada)—for a timely conversation on the complex legal and political drama unfolding in Israel with Ronald J. Daniels, President of Johns Hopkins University and Chair of IDI’s International Advisory Council.

What are the roots of the crisis roiling Israel? Why is an independent judiciary so important for liberal democracy? What would a sound process of judicial reform look like? Hear the candid perspective of four leading legal minds, with decades of experience on the bench and in academia, on these crucial questions and many more.
