Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Law transfers the authority to recognize foreign degrees in law from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem to a commissioner to be appointed by the Minister of Justice from among the employees of the Ministry of Justice. The commissioner will act in accordance with criteria to be established by a committee to be appointed by the Minister of Justice, whose members will be a senior Ministry of Justice employee, a representative of the Israel Bar Association, and an academic staff member specializing in law. It is also proposed to establish that the exemption from the internship examination currently granted in certain cases to lawyers certified abroad, as well as relief regarding the internship, will also apply to a person who served abroad as a lawyer for a certain period even if not certified as a lawyer, in countries where one may practice as a lawyer without certification. This is on condition that his experience was recognized as sufficient by the Bar Association and in accordance with the criteria to be established by the aforementioned committee on this matter.
