Israel Laws
Israeli law is a mixed legal system reflecting the
diverse history of the territory of the State of Israel throughout the
last hundred years (which was at various times prior to independence
under Ottoman, then British sovereignty). The Israeli legal system is
based in common law, which also incorporates new facets of civil law.
Foreign and historical influences on modern-day
Israeli law are varied and include the civil code of the Ottoman Empire
a little of German civil law, Jewish religious law mostly pertaining in
the area of family law), and British common law. The Israeli courts have
been influenced in recent years by American Law and to a lesser extent
by Canadian Law and Continental Law.
