| Summary/Abstract |
Brunei continued in 2016 to suffer from declining oil and gas prices. The budget deficit grew. The Sultan made economic diversification and “prudent spending” the year’s central political themes. He criticized several government institutions during “surprise visits” and sharply attacked the Ministry of Religious Affairs for “delaying” the full enforcement of an Islamic legal reform.

| Summary/Abstract |
For several decades Israeli feminism focused on law in its efforts to promote greater gender equality in Israel. The common wisdom was that legal reforms provide the most effective tools for undermining social structures of inequality and empowering women in the public sphere. Over the years this understanding motivated numerous legal battles that were aimed at using the law as an agent of gender equality. Starting in the 1980s various female litigants, aided by civil rights and feminist organizations, approached the Supreme Court as part of their efforts to remedy injustices of discrimination. For example, Leah Shakdiel, backed by ACRI, was a pioneer in the 1980s in securing women the right to equal membership in municipal rabbinical administrations; Neomi Nevo headed a feminist effort to amend retirement policies in Israel and eventually guaranteed women the right to retire at the same age as men; Alice Miller's efforts to become a military pilot a decade later initiated major legal reforms in military policies toward women that enabled them to serve in various combat roles.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article provides a brutally condensed history of the Egyptian legal elite, tracing their rise to power following the introduction of legal reforms in the late 19th century, their fall in the 1950s, and the possibility of a renewed elite status based on 'rule of law' reforms introduced since the 1990s. I argue that 'rule of law' reforms had a considerable effect in raising the profile of Egyptian legal practitioners and empowering them as instrumental decision makers on multiple questions of public concern. In particular, I argue that the history of the Egyptian legal elite makes it very difficult to either embrace the rule of law as a panacea or dismiss it out of hand as a colonial ploy.
