Law in These Parts Screening with the New Generations Legal Circle

Join the New Generations Legal Circle for a special screening of the important documentary, The Law in These Parts, on Tuesday, November 27 at 8:00 pm.

The screening will be followed by a conversation with Libby Lenkinski, who most recently served as the Director of International Relations at the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI).

About the Film: Through archival footage and interviews with Israeli judges, prosecutors and legal advisers, The Law in These Parts unravels an intricate system of military control that symbolizes one of the most enduring and damaging conflicts of our time. From establishing settlements in an occupied area to dealing with torture in interrogations to rationalizing parallel legal systems for Palestinians and Israelis, The Law in These Parts explores some of Israel's basic moral quandaries. Can a nation that occupies another people act with genuine adherence to the principals of rule-of-law? And what are the costs that a society engaged in such a long-term exercise must bear?
