ABSTRACT
In recent years, additional tracks for legal studies opened at two private colleges, as
well as at two state-funded colleges: Safed (in the North) and Sapir (in the South).
The latter perhaps reflect an answer to claims that the colleges that opened did not
realize the objectives for which they were established, namely to give excluded groups
an opportunity to acquire legal education. Indeed, the colleges continue to charge
tuition that is threefold that of what the universities charge, and most of them
operate in the center of the country. The opening of legal studies at Safed and Sapir
Colleges addressed this problem, for not only were these colleges that charge university
rates but both are located in the periphery, in Israel’s north and south.
