Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAmong his many plans for changes in the justice system, Channel 13 reports Justice Minister Yariv Levin is also working to advance a bill that would allow an outside appointment to the role of Supreme Court chief justice — changing the seniority-based system in place today.
