This study utilizes the recruitment of Israeli Supreme Court justices to explore that country's legal culture. The data indicate that professional legal criteria are the primary variable for the selection of Israeli judges, and that the political/legal culture supports a civil court system which operates independently of partisan politics. Thus, Israeli legal culture can be encompassed within a Weberian framework: it values adherence to settled rules. Paradoxically, precisely because the Supreme Court is seen as the guardian of fundamental values embedded in an objective legal order, authority—and increasing political power—has flowed toward Israel's premier non-partisan institution.

“…Following renewed official requests from Druze leaders, the Israeli government agreed to expand the recognized religions by adding Druze in 1957 [42]. The Druze were officially recognized as an autonomous religious community in 1962 [43] when the Knesset approved the Druze Religious Courts Act (1962), which was followed by appointing an official Druze spiritual leadership and Druze religious judges.…”

This study applies the negative peace/positive peace approach to internal nation-state relations between the majority and ethnic minority. This approach focuses on the policies implemented by the state. In order to understand the social system from its formation, an important focus should be given to the period of establishment of a new state, whereas physical borders are defined along with the borders of society, which determines who is included in the new nation and who is excluded. The conclusions are based on the case of the Israeli Druze, an ethnic minority with whom the state of Israel and its Jewish majority have achieved positive peace. This study suggests that the positive peace with the Druze was achieved following their integration in the army—as a decision of the state of Israel—that lead to their integration in the Israeli society. Conversely to the Israeli Muslims, where a negative peace is maintained, following the early year’s state policy to exclude them.
