Courts Law (Amendment No. 106) (Associate Judge) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק בתי המשפט (תיקון מס' 106) (שופט עמית)

TL;DRThe bill allows retired judges and dayanim to be appointed as associate judges, even if they were in a defined-contribution pension arrangement during their tenure.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill amends laws governing the appointment of judges and dayanim who have retired from service to an associate (part-time) position. Currently, such an appointment is regulated only for judges in a budgetary pension arrangement; the bill also extends it to judges who were in a defined-contribution pension arrangement during their tenure, provided they met additional requirements such as reaching a certain age. The change applies to district courts, labor courts, rabbinical courts and traffic judges.
