The Judicial Appointments Committee (JAC) will conduct first-ever hearings this week for all 12 candidates for the High Court bench, during which candidates will have to state their judicial worldview, and will be asked questions such as their stand on the Law of Return or post-Zionism.
Committee members are divided over the extent of the hearing, and whether candidates should be required to state their views on judicial activism and other issues.
Some panel members plan to ask the candidates questions on the extent of interference the candidate believes is acceptable in security issues other semi-political questions. Other committee members who are judges oppose a "too invasive" hearing of the type accepted in the United States for candidates for the Supreme Court.
