This course takes students on a comprehensive journey into the world of legal thinking, aiming to develop analytical skills and independent critical thinking among learners. Throughout the course, students will be exposed to various case studies in different areas of law – from constitutional and administrative law to contract law, torts, property, evidence, family law, and taxation in both civil and criminal branches.

The studies will provide tools for formulating a complex and dual perception of legal issues, allowing them to be viewed from both the defense and prosecution perspectives. Students will acquire skills to preserve their professional consciousness, change it according to circumstances, and also create new and original consciousness.

The course will examine the basic concepts of Israeli and international law, including the differences between the adversarial system used in Israel and the inquisitorial system prevalent elsewhere. Students will learn to overcome lacunae in legislation through analogy to general law, Jewish law, case law, and purposive and literal interpretation of the law.

The legal analysis will be based on the approaches of leading judges and presidents of the Supreme Court, such as Justices Cheshin, Barak, Beinisch, Grunis, Zamir, Hayut, Shamgar, Strasberg-Cohen, and others.

The lecturer believes that acquiring skills for creative thinking is the key to in-depth analysis of legal cases, and it is also the key to success in all areas of life. The ability to wonder, to see from the opponent's point of view, to investigate and ask appropriate questions – leads to professional excellence and is a central component of the course.

* The course material will be tailored to the age of the learners.
