The Israeli Supreme Court Project
The Honorable Asher Dan Grunis

Arye Edrei
of Change through the Israeli Supreme Court. Hon. Asher
Dan Grunis, past president of the Israel Supreme Court, participated in a general conversation about the Court and its role in these changes, along with three experts—a law professor, a professor of gender studies, and an attorney who has brought such lawsuits to the court. The group discussed the ways in which religious women and women’s movements have become engines of social and legal change in Israel through litigation, particularly at the Israeli Supreme Court.

Cardozo Law is deeply committed to public service law, instilling in students an understanding of the critical role lawyers play in providing access to justice for those in need. The Public Service Law Center provides guidance and support to students wishing to pursue careers in public service. Public Service Law Week (P*LAW) is a weeklong intensive that takes place each year as part of January Lawyering Skills Month. Approximately 100 students participate as legal practitioners, and community advocates and organizers address important issues such as youth representation, prisoners’ rights, immigration, and environmental law. The week culminates with Cardozo’s Inspire! Awards ceremony, which honors outstanding achievements in public service. This year’s P*LAW Week included a visit from Chris Hayes, journalist, commentator and host of the MSNBC show All In with Chris Hayes, who spoke with Professor Kate Shaw about President Trump’s agenda, rhetoric and unconventional style and the public concerns they have inspired. The Constitutional Role of the Press in a Post-Twitter World discussed freedom of the press under the new presidential administration. Guest panelists included the general counsel for The New York Times and a professor from Columbia Journalism School.
