Ebook: Jurisdiction and Illegality: A Study in Public Law

In 2006, Rubinstein won the Israel Prize, for law.[3][4][5] The Israel Prize award committee provided the following endorsement for its decision:

Amnon Rubinstein is "the founding father of Israeli constitutional law. In both his profound academic writings and his diverse public activities, he advances the values of democracy, equality and human rights. In the legal and public arena in Israel, there are few who can equal Prof. Amnon Rubinstein’s contribution to the State of Israel, as a public figure, a member of the legislative and executive branches of government, and as a brilliant researcher and legal expert."

After retiring from politics Rubinstein returned to academia. He regularly writes opinion pieces for Israeli newspapers.

Rubinstein's scholarship is highly respected. His articles and books in the sphere of law in general, and especially Israeli law, have enjoyed wide acclaim. His collection A Single Voice (2002) outlined his "moderate, humanistic liberalism", according to a review in Haaretz.
