Parties In Israel: Between Law And Politics, Ariel L. Bendor

San Diego International Law Journal

The decline in prestige and influence of the political parties in Israel, particularly the larger parties, has become a source of distress for many in Israel. Similarly, in the United States, where the significance of parties is also recognized, many have shown concern for weakening of the dominant political parties.

Alternative Liability In Litigation Malpractice Actions: Eradicating The Last Resort Of Scoundrels, Lawrence W. Kessler

San Diego Law Review
