Chapter 5 of Gelpe (2013) examines many of those similarities and differences in detail. Explain how the Israeli legal system uses precedent. How does this compare to the United States’ common law system? In what ways does the Israeli Supreme Court’s structure and use of precedent differ from the United States Supreme Court’s structure and use of precedent? How do you think the Israeli Supreme Court’s treatment of precedent might affect the creation of public policy in Israel?
