Zusammenfassung:	In this clearly written and tightly argued analysis of the various Israeli court systems, Martin Edelman probes a fundamental issue: whether those courts protect human rights while fostering the development of a common, inclusive national culture. Edelman's work is based on the assumption that courts are important agencies of government and that, like other governmental institutions in a democracy, courts have an interactive relationship with a society's political culture Israel does not have an integrated court system. The courts of the fourteen recognized religions have exclusive jurisdiction over members of their communities on matters of marriage and divorce. The civil courts have basic jurisdiction over criminal, civil, and public law controversies. Palestinians in the occupied areas who are accused of acts against Israeli security are tried in the military courts Moreover, Israel lacks the organizing structure and directing force provided by a written constitution
