High Court President Justice Dorit Beinish believes a major reform is needed to address the backlog in the nation�s judicial system, advocating the establishment of a nationwide appeals court to hear criminal and civil cases, thereby expediting the process and clearing many cases from the High Court�s overtaxed agenda.

Beinish explains she believes strong Knesset objections stem from the belief the High Court is seeking to establish a constitutional court and this is simply not the case. She added that she is striving for an increasingly streamlined, expeditious and accessible legal system which has yet to become a reality, stating to date she has failed for various reasons, but remains committed to reforming the court system.
