Prof. Yaniv Roznai: The judiciary needs reform, but this override clause is dangerous
Description
Is Israeli democracy in danger? A proposed High Court override clause has many concerned about a possible tyranny of the majority. Join us as a diverse set of legal experts discuss with ToI editors what’s currently at stake.
In this first episode, we speak with Prof. Yaniv Roznai, Vice-Dean at the Harry Radzyner Law School and Co-director at the Rubinstein Center for Constitutional Challenges at Reichman University. His scholarship focuses on comparative constitutional law and constitutional theory.
Roznai is among those legal scholars who are leading the charge against the potential game-changing legislation. He explains why in a brief conversation ahead of a live-streamed Times of Israel event on judicial reform that took place in Jerusalem's Israel Democracy Institute on December 15.
