Israel\u2019s Supreme Court is sometimes cited as the most powerful in the democratic world. But how did a handful of unelected judges come to hold such absolute sway over a nation\u2019s laws, politics, and future?<\/p>\n

The Georgetown Center for the Constitution<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0The Federalist Society<\/b>\u00a0invite you to join us for an exclusive event as we celebrate the launch of “Rogue Justice: The Rise of Judicial Supremacy in Israel<\/span>(This link opens in a new tab)<\/span><\/span><\/a>” by\u00a0Yonatan\u00a0Green. This definitive new work traces the Court\u2019s ascent from a modest judicial body to the central arbiter of Israeli life, offering a cautionary and essential guide to the global struggle over law, democracy, and power.<\/p>\n

The Program<\/b><\/h2>\n

The event\u00a0will feature a keynote discussion between\u00a0The Honorable Neomi\u00a0Rao, Circuit Judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit<\/b>\u00a0and author\u00a0Yonatan\u00a0Green<\/b>. Together, they will explore the striking parallels between the Israeli and American legal landscapes, examining important questions regarding the limits of judicial power and the consequences of its abuse.<\/p>\n
