It begins with the historical context of the country’s founding and the configuration of its legal system, highlighting the absence of a written constitution, which has been replaced by a series of Basic Laws. The role of the Supreme Court of Israel is examined as a guarantor of fundamental rights, having assumed constitutional functions despite lacking formal legal designation. The text explores how Roman Law has left its mark on Israeli civil law, especially in areas such as contracts, property, tort liability, and inheritance. It also discusses its indirect influence on criminal law, constitutional law, and international law. Israel’s legal system is mixed, incorporating elements from Common Law, Ottoman law, religious law (Sharia and Halakha), and continental traditions. Additionally, the article analyzes the structure of the Israeli judiciary, the tension between civil law and religious courts, and the challenges of the millet system, which grants personal jurisdiction to religious courts based on religious affiliation—raising issues regarding equality and human rights. El artículo analiza la influencia del Derecho Romano en la construcción jurídica del Estado de Israel. Parte del contexto histórico de la fundación del país y la configuración de su sistema legal, destacando la ausencia de una constitución escrita, sustituida por una serie de Leyes Básicas. Se estudia el papel del Tribunal Supremo de Israel como garante de derechos fundamentales, asumiendo funciones propias de un tribunal constitucional, a pesar de no estar legalmente designado como tal. El texto explora cómo el Derecho Romano ha dejado huella en el derecho civil israelí, especialmente en materia de contratos, propiedad, responsabilidad civil y herencia. También se aborda su influencia indirecta en el derecho penal, el derecho constitucional y el derecho internacional. El sistema jurídico israelí es mixto, con aportes del Common Law, derecho otomano, derecho religioso (Sharia y Halajá), y tradiciones continentales. Además, se analiza la estructura judicial israelí, la tensión entre el derecho civil y los tribunales religiosos, y los desafíos del sistema millet, que otorga jurisdicción personal a tribunales religiosos según la pertenencia confesional, lo que plantea conflictos con los principios de igualdad y derechos humanos.
