ABSTRACT
In this chapter, I look briefl y at Israel’s civil service at its inception, discuss the importance of the law to its functioning, and outline the specifi c laws in Israel that are relevant for the civil service and public management in general. This chapter also looks at the Civil Service Commission, the Administrative Law Courts, and the new Administrative Tribunals. In closing, I ask whether the civil service should be anchored in Israel’s evolving constitution – the Basic Laws.
