About
The Jerusalem District Court is one of Israel's six district courts, handling serious civil and criminal cases in the Jerusalem District. It receives appeals from the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court (HaShalom Court) and its decisions can be appealed to the Supreme Court of Israel. According to Section 17 of the Basic Law: The Government, indictments against a sitting Prime Minister must be submitted by the Attorney General to this court. Some hearings are held at the Clal Center building at 97 Jaffa Street. It has been involved in high-profile cases, including the Netanyahu corruption proceedings (indictment venue, though main trial in Tel Aviv District Court).
