Jews are a people of law, and law defines who the Jewish people are and what they believe. This anthology engages with the growing complexity of what it is to be Jewish — and, more problematically, what it means to be at once Jewish and participate in secular legal systems as lawyers, judges, legal thinkers, civil rights advocates, and teachers. The essays in this book trace the history and chart the sociology of the Jewish legal profession over time, revealing new stories and dimensions of this significant aspect of the American Jewish experience and at the same time exploring the impact of Jewish lawyers and law firms on American legal practice.

This paper suggests a comprehensive approach to research on interactions of Jewish and other legal systems. It proposes methods to answer old questions and open new frontiers of research. specifically, the article ulitizes system theory, analysis of dynamics in systems and insights from complexity theory in analysing psika - jewish legal decision processes and the Jewish law as a body of knowledge and system. Each methodological argument can be read separately and each should be critically assessed. However, the arguments can also be read as fully intertwined, creating a whole that is greater than its parts. A concluding section discusses the organizational and conceptual challenges that are inherent to this paradigm shift.
