Supreme Court Justice Yael Willner has been elected to serve on the Judicial Selection Committee, replacing Justice Dafna Barak-Erez. The decision was made by the Supreme Court justices. Barak-Erez is concluding a three-year term on the committee as mandated by law. Willner was chosen over Justice David Mintz, who is senior to her on the Supreme Court and would have been next in line. This decision was necessitated by a Basic Law: Judiciary provision requiring at least one woman to represent the Supreme Court on the committee. Willner's appointment ensures this requirement is met, as Barak-Erez's term ends.
