Brooklyn Law School professor appointed to the Israeli Supreme Court
A Brooklyn Law School professor was appointed to the Israeli Supreme Court by the country’s Judicial Appointments Committee, the school announced last week.
Professor Alex Stein is considered an expert on torts, medical malpractice, evidence and general legal theory. He has written three books — “Foundations of Evidence Law,” “Tort Liability Under Uncertainty” and “An Analytical Approach to Evidence: Text, Cases and Problems” — and often combines law with economic theories and moral philosophy.
Stein was appointed along with Israeli District Court Judge Ofer Grosskopf to fill two open Supreme Court seats vacated by retiring justices.
