The Israel Law and Liberty Forum is a movement of lawyers, judges, students, and other individuals who are interested in Israeli law and policy. The Forum advances a conservative legal worldview based on four core principles: the separation of powers, judicial restraint, individual liberty, and limited government. We support student chapters, debates, conferences, seminars, and other educational activities aimed at fostering new discussions on how to improve Israeli law and governance. Inspired by the Federalist Society, the Forum was founded and is supported by the Tikvah Fund.

This event is generously cosponsored by the Tikvah Fund Legal Fellowship.
