Scalia Speaks in Hebrew

I’m very pleased to have received a Hebrew-language volume of Justice Scalia’s writings, drawn from two books that I co-edited, Scalia Speaks: Reflections on Law, Faith, and Life Well Lived and The Essential Scalia: On the Constitution, the Courts, and the Rule of Law:

The Hebrew title, I’m told, can be translated as In the Name of the Law: Scalia on the Court, the Constitution, and the Rule of Law.

The volume is an initiative of a new group, the Israel Law and Liberty Forum, that (according to this article from the left-leaning Israeli newspaper Haaretz explains) aims to “revamp[] the Israeli judicial system from the ground up, based on the mode of operation used so effectively by the Federalist Society.” I’ve enjoyed meeting the group’s leaders and wish them great success. Mazel tov!
