On April 5, the 2015-2016 Chapman Dialogue Lecture Series came to a close with a special installment featuring guest speaker Justice Salim Joubran of the Supreme Court of Israel. The law school community was honored with his presentation entitled “Freedom of Religion and the Role of the Supreme Court,” which was followed by a lively question and answer session with Fowler School of Law Professor Michael Bazyler and more than 100 student and faculty guests. The Dialogue was co-sponsored by the Rose Project of the Jewish Federation & Family Services of Orange County.<\/p>\n

\nJustice Joubran’s presentation focused on explaining the judicial process in Israel, particularly at the Supreme Court and its large caseload of appeals and other actions originating there. He provided key insights from a comparative perspective on the similarities and differences between the judicial systems in Israel and the United States. He described the complications of an unwritten constitution compared with a written one, the role of the Basic Laws and protections for human rights in Israel, and the principle of separation of powers within the Israel system of governance. Justice Joubran’s first-hand, high-level insight on the Israeli judicial system and his deep understanding of comparative law provided a truly unique educational experience for the attendees.
