Jewish Law

Introduction

This entry explores the history, literature and process of Jewish law. Together with the sources and structure of Jewish law, the entry examines the dynamics of the legal system by looking at such areas as: biblical interpretation in civil and ritual law, capital punishment, self-incrimination, the duty of confidentiality, abortion, the interaction of Jewish law with other legal systems, and the application of Jewish law in the Israeli legal system.

Legal Materials

Menachem Elon’s four-volume Jewish Law: History, Sources, Principles (Jewish Publication Society) provides a good overview of Jewish law. Other useful treatises include An Introduction to the History and Sources of Jewish Law (Oxford University Press) and Jewish Law and Legal Theory (New York University Press).

The “Jewish Law” section of Religious Legal Systems: A Brief Guide to Research and Its Role in Comparative Law by Marylin Johnson Raisch discusses the basic sources of Jewish law and links to online resources. See also, David Hollander’s “Jewish Law for the Law Librarian,” 98(2) Law Library Journal 219 (Spring 2006).
