Law in Israel
Independence Day Coin, 1992 5752, 44th Anniversary

The Knesset is Israel's legislature. Its laws form the basis for the legal system. Ancient Jewish law is one of the sources applied to interpret the laws of the State. Israel does not yet have a complete written constitution, however there are "Basic Laws" which cover a broad variety of subjects, including the State, the Presidency, the Parliament, the Courts, the Government, the Army, and equality of the sexes. The court system consists of the supreme, district and magistrate courts. Judges are appointed by the President of the State. Courts of special jurisdiction include labor, military, and religious courts. The Israeli legal system enjoys public confidence at home and is highly regarded abroad.
