EXPORTING THE MISSOURI PLAN TO ISRAEL: HOW JUDICIAL SELECTION REFORMERS CAN WALK THE LINE BETWEEN "BOSS" NETANYAHU AND "BLACK-ROBED RULERS".

- Abstract
This Article compares the 2023 judicial reform crisis in Israel to a similar scenario that unfolded in Missouri during the 1930s and 1940s, in which local leaders developed a hybridized means of judicial selection that combined elements of both appointment and election systems. This Article argues that the use of this "assisted appointment" method-now known as the Missouri Plan-can resolve a central point of contention in the conflict surrounding the Israeli Supreme Court. This Article presents a brief history of the quasi-constitutional conflicts in Missouri and Israel. It then discusses some of the key attributes of a successful judicial selection method: independence, accountability, diversity, and legal expertise. Finally, it proposes a rebalanced judicial selection committee and the use Of a Missouri-style system in Israel.
