European Union Law as Foreign Law

handle is hein.journals/vantl54 and id is 701 raw text is: European Union Law as Foreign Law Lior Zemer and Sharon Pardo* ABSTRACT The importance and significance of comparative sources to the development of Israeli jurisprudence is expressed in local legislation and rulings. The impact of foreign law on the development of Israeli law has been analyzed and vindicated in numerous studies in the local legal literature. These studies typically focus on the two most prominent legal systems- common law (the Anglo-American system) and civil law (the Continental system). The historical reasons for this are clear, emanating from the fact that Israel's legal system is based on these legal regimes and is amended in the spirit of changes made to them. Over the years, however, Israeli law has developed and has become a diverse mosaic which has appropriated doctrines and interpretations on legal issues drawn from various other legal traditions. One of the most prominent legal systems to emerge in recent years is that of the European Union (EU), currently the largest democratic bloc in the world. Despite its relative novelty, EU law has greatly influenced the development of legal interpretation in Israel. The Article seeks to complete the portrait painted in the study by the research briefly introduced in these authors'previous Article, The Image of European Union Law in Bilateral Relations, which laid the theoretical and historical foundations of the role played by comparative law in Israeli jurisprudence and outlined the development of Israel-EU relations over the years under discussion. In the Article, the portrait is completed through * Lior Zemer, Professor, Deputy Dean of the Harry Radzyner Law School at the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya; Sharon Pardo, Professor, Jean Monnet Chair ad Personam, Department of Politics and Government, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.
