Shmuel V. Attorney General, Moshe Landau, Alfred Witkon, Zvi Berinson, Shimon Agranat, Haim Herman Cohn

Translated Opinions

The Attorney-General applied for an order against the applicants to remove their children from a Christian missionary school where they had placed them and to arrange for the children's education in a Jewish school. In those proceedings in the Tel Aviv District Court, the applicants requested that the sitting judge should disqualify himself because he was an orthodox Jew and people might gain the impression that he would therefore not deal with the matter impartially. The judge refused to do so and the applicants moved the Supreme Court to have the hearings transferred to another judge of the Tel Aviv …

Lawyers' Obligations To The Courts, Byron O. House

West Virginia Law Review

This paper will concern itself largely with the duty of lawyers to the courts. It is written from the viewpoint of a country lawyer suddenly catapulted from almost thirty years of practice to his state's court of last resort via eight months on the trial bench. These vantage points have afforded an opportunity to observe the lawyer's duty to the courts in various perspectives. With due respect to the learned scholars who have written on the subject, this small contribution is launched.

Berman Et Al. V. Minister Of Interior, Moshe Silberg, Yoel Sussman, Alfred Witkon

Translated Opinions

The district of Nahlath Yitzhak consisting of 250 families had for very many years been part of Tel Aviv Municipality. Since 1949 a movement to sever this connection had gathered strength and in 1950 a petition to this end, signed by 353 residents, had been delivered to the Ministry of the Interior. Tel Aviv had claimed that the petitioners were not authorized to speak for all the residents and the matter was left in abeyance until 1956, when it once more became active on the delivery of a similar petition signed by 491 persons. The Minister then appointed a commission …

Federal Right Jurisdiction And The Declaratory Remedy, Herman L. Trautman

Vanderbilt Law Review

Why should we have federal district courts? What should be their primary function? These questions are fundamental to the formulation of a rational basis for the distribution of judicial power between state courts and the trial courts of the federal government.

Our American federal system seeks as a constant objective an appropriate division of governmental power between a national unit, which deals with problems requiring uniform treatment, and state units, which have responsibility for problems depending more upon local conditions. Applying the principle to the federal district courts, it seems clear that their primary function should be to adjudicate federal …

Translated Opinions

The appellant, who had allowed third parties to occupy premises in breach of an injunction restraining him from so doing was convicted of contempt of court under the Contempt of Court Ordinance and was sentenced to a fine of I.L. 250 or three months imprisonment. This sentence was imposed on the appellant by the District Court not for the purpose of inducing him to comply with the terms of the injunction, which had become impossible, but as a punishment for its breach.

Held, allowing the appeal, that the purpose of the sanctions in the Contempt of Court Ordinance is to …

Translated Opinions

The Petitioner, while employed by the Army as a civilian employee, assaulted a soldier and committed other acts constituting criminal offences under both military and civil law. After he had ceased to be so employed, the Petitioner was charged before a military court. He sought an order restraining the military court from proceeding with the charges on the grounds that he was not at the relevant time a soldier within the meaning of the Army Code, or alternatively that he had ceased to be a soldier when charged and that a military court therefore had no jurisdiction in the matter. …
