The Supreme Court of Israel ((ヘブライ語:בית המשפט העליון), ''Beit HaMishpat HaElyon'') is the highest court in Israel. It has ultimate appellate jurisdiction over all other courts and, in some cases, original jurisdiction. The Supreme Court consists of 15 justices who are appointed by the Judicial Selection Committee. Once appointed, justices have life tenure unless they resign, retire at the age of 70, or are removed from office. The current President (Chief Justice) of the Supreme Court is Miriam Naor. The Supreme Court is situated in Jerusalem. Its jurisdiction applies to all of Israel and the Israeli-occupied territories. According to the principle of binding precedent (stare decisis), a ruling of the Supreme Court is binding upon every other court, except itself. Over the years, the Supreme Court has ruled on numerous sensitive issues, some of which relate to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the rights of Arab citizens and discrimination between Jewish groups in Israel. ==Appointment== Supreme Court Justices are appointed by the Judicial Selection Committee. The Selection Committee is composed of nine members: Three Supreme Court Justices (including the President of the Supreme Court), two cabinet ministers (one of them being the Minister of Justice), two Knesset members, and two representatives of the Israel Bar Association. The committee is chaired by the Minister of Justice. The three organs of state—the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government—as well as the bar association are represented in the Judges’ Nominations Committee. Thus, the shaping of the judicial body, through the manner of judicial appointment, is carried out by all the authorities together. Supreme Court Justices cannot be removed from office except by a decision of the Court of Discipline, consisting of judges appointed by the President of the Supreme Court, or upon a decision of the Judicial Selection Committee—at the proposal of the Minister of Justice or the President of the Supreme Court—with the agreement of seven of its nine members.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Judiciary: The Court System )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Supreme Court of Israel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
