Cardozo Law to Oversee English Translations of Key Opinions of the Supreme Court of Israel
Yeshiva University’s Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law will take over responsibility for translating significant cases of the Supreme Court of Israel into English. In recognition of Cardozo's programs in international constitutional law and in Jewish legal studies, the Friends of the Library of the Supreme Court of Israel signed a memorandum of understanding with Cardozo on October 18, 2012, transferring authority and funding for the project to the school. The opinions of the Israeli Supreme Court are of significant influence to the development of law in other countries. United States Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer has said, "The Supreme Court of Israel is one of the world's great legal institutions. Its work is of increasing value to constitutional scholars throughout the world."![](/sites/default/files/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2012/10/DSC_0005-2-1024x682.jpg)
