Abstract

‘Military Lawyers Making Law: The Contextual Transformations of the MAG Corps’ Legal Practice and the Constitution of Law’ by Maayan Geva investigates Israeli military legal practice in the OPT, focused on the International Law Department (ILD) and grounded in original interviews and military documents. Conceptually based on Bourdieu’s sociology of the field, it explores the extent of impact of military practitioners on legal logic, the legal field’s boundaries with politics and military agenda, and the legal field’s overall power. This discussion builds on various aspects of transformation that military legal practice underwent between 1967 and 2000, with reference to the goals of legal practice, the potential impact of law over military conduct, perspectives on law vis-a-vis violence and morality, and the institutional positioning of lawyers.
