The Judicial Selection Committee, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Minister Yariv Levin, selected 26 new judges and registrars this morning, according to the outlet Abu Ali Express. The appointments cover Magistrate's Courts in Haifa and the Southern District, as well as senior registrars across Israel's districts.
The Judicial Selection Committee, chaired by Justice Minister Yariv Levin, selected 26 new judges and registrars this morning in a regular appointment round, according to the Abu Ali Express outlet. The appointments include Magistrate's Court judges in the Haifa and Southern districts, most notably candidates from private practice and existing court registrars.
Senior registrars were appointed across all six districts—North, Haifa, Center, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and South. The list includes registrar appointments for family court and execution authority positions.
As The Zioneer has previously reported, the Judicial Selection Committee has been a focal point of contention between the executive and judicial branches. This morning's selections follow a pattern of routine appointments after high-profile political battles over the committee's composition earlier this year. The selections did not include District Court or Supreme Court judges and appear to proceed without the controversy that has accompanied larger judicial appointment rounds.
