COURTS ana introduced necessary alter-
atoms in the existing ones.
In each city there are courts Of two
degrees-the first degree, or Court Of
Three and the second degree, called
Conference Of Judges, or Court Of
Five, for more important matters, ap-
peals against the lower courts, fnan-
cial suits above 100 pounds sterling,
etc. There are judicial courts only in
the larger colonies; the smaller colon
les and farms submit their law suits
to the nearest "Mishpat Hashalom".
and one of the coloniests, chosen for
the purpose, participates in the giving
Of judgment. The colonies have the
Court of the first degree only. For the
second degree there is Central
"Mishpat Hasalom" connected with the
Committee Of the Federation Of Colon
les, the members being chosen from
all the colonies in the Federation. This
body takes the place of the Conference
Of Judges in the cities. In Lower Cali
lee where most Of the colonies are
small, two or three colonies join to-
gether to form "Mishpat Hashalom"
Of the first degree, and for all the
colonies there is central judicial
body attached to the office Of the
Federated Colonies. In this way
there exists central judicial bodies for
Judea, attached to the Federation Of
Judean Colonies, for Samaria in Zich-
ron Jacob, and for Lower Galilee and
Upper Galilee, attached to their res
pective declarations.
Above all these judicial bodies is
the supreme "Mishpat Hashalom"
the highest court both for judicial and
for administrative matters. All cases,
such as those of great communal i'm
portance, disputes between colonies
or institutions, appeals against judg-
ments Of lower courts, are considered
by the supreme court, which meets
only when a case occurs for its at
tention. In the cities the "Mishpat
Hashalom" holds sittings every even
ing, and in the colonies at fixed per-
iods. From time to time joint sittings
are held with the Supreme Court to
consider matters affecting both par
ties. The judges in the cities are ap-
pointed by the City Council, but in the
colonies they are chosen by the whole
community. They include merchants,
farmers, laborers, teachers, physicians,
etc.
The entire routine Of life passes be-
fore the Mishpat Habshalom-not only
financial disputes, but all matters re-
curing a judicial settlement, such rs
business affairs, land disputes, libel,
communal matters, labor and family
questions, inheritance, conjugal mat
tiers Jointly with the Rabbinical
courts) and, to a certain extent, acts
Of violence. The Mishpat Hashalom,
which was founded with the aid Of
the Zionist Palestine Bureau has no
police power, depending solely on the
pressure Of public opinion for the en-
forcement Of its judgments. But It's
judgments are respected and obeyed
and the resort to public pressure has
generally speaking, proved unneces.
sary.
