The judicial system of Israel consists of secular courts and religious courts. The law courts constitute a separate and independent unit of Israel's Ministry of Justice. The system is headed by the President of the Supreme Court and the Minister of Justice.^[1]

Religious courts include Jewish batei din, Islamic courts, Druze courts, and courts for ten recognized Christian communities.^[1] However, religious courts wield extremely limited authority, and they are engaged with for marital affairs, as no non-religious form of marriage performed in Israel is recognized legally.
