Judging and Globalization - Why turn to Comparative Law?

Lecture by Dr. Yoram Danziger (Justice at the Supreme Court of Israel)

Ongoing globalization has had animpact on every aspect of our lives and our society. This includes the judicial system. Lawyers and judges alike are being challenged by laws and rulings from all over the world arising within the contexts of continual internationalisation as well as ethnic and religious pluralism characteristic of modern societies. The State of Israel, due to the country’s complex sociocultural structure and its hybrid legal system, is exposed to these developments to an exceptional degree.

In his lecture, Justice Dr. Yoram Danziger will discuss cases where globalization was a significant issue before the court, and explain his views of the underlying debate.
