Israeli Legal System Hello everyone. My name is Dave and my paper is on the Israeli legal system. The state of Israel is a western – style democracy that has its roots from the British mandate over the Ottoman Empire after the defeat of Turkey in World War One. The area of land where Israel is located used to be part of the Ottoman Empire, which was ruled by Turkey. After World War One when Turkey was defeated a British mandate was established. The British mandate created a government which gradually replaced the old law, with English principles. All aspects of law have adopted the English ways but the only Ottoman law that was still followed was their system of family law. This allowed religious courts of the different religious communities to set the laws and standards of family practices. Israel is a parliamentary democracy consisting of a legislative, executive, and judicial branches. The institutions that make up these branches are the Presidency, the Knesset ( the parliament), the government ( which is made up of a cabinet of ministers), and the judiciary or court system. The Government is based upon the principles of separation of powers with checks and balance.
