Knesset Legal Adviser
The Knesset Legal Adviser heads the legal bureau of the Israeli parliament, the Knesset. His status, duties and appointment procedure were regulated for the first time in 2001, with the addition of Chapter 7 to the Law of the Knesset, 1994. The law was enacted under the concept that the legal advisor of the legislative authority should be as parallel as possible to the legal advisor of the executive authority, the Attorney General of Israel. Therefore, the law established a number of instructions similar to the instructions regarding the Attorney General, regarding the eligibility conditions, the appointment procedure and more.
