One Law for Men and Women: Women, Rights and Law during the British Mandate
(ed. By Dr. Eyal Katvan, Prof. Margalit Shilo and Prof. Ruth Halperin-Kaddari) with an Introduction by Eyal Katvan, Margalit Shilo, Ruth Halperin-Kaddari, “Complex Identities and Divided Identities”
Bar-Ilan Iniversity Press (2010) (in Hebrew)
This book focuses on the place of women and the law during the Mandate years (1948-1918). The book presents and describes for the first time the connecting threads and common denominators of the legal developments related to the status of women during the Mandate period. The book discusses a variety of issues: demography, family, personal status and the courts, feminist rights and perceptions, the regulation of body and mind and more. The studies in the book also shed light on the involvement of the women's organization "The Association of Hebrew Women for Equal Rights in the Land of Israel" and present its leadership with great vitality. This organization was a political body, the first women's party in the country, which saw its goal in changing the legal status of women within the Jewish community. The slogan of this organization is also the title of the book `One Constitution and one Law for Man and Woman`.

Too Many Lawyers? The future of the legal profession
Edited by Eyal Katvan, Carole Silver, Neta Ziv, Avrom Sherr
Hardback, 1st Edition (2016)
Paperback (2019)
The topic of "too many lawyers" is both timely and timeless. The future make up and performance of the legal
profession is in contest, challenged by new entrants, technology and the demand for transparency; at the same time, lawyers long have participated in contests over professional boundaries. In this book, we take up several fundamental questions about the question of whether there are "too many lawyers". What do we mean by "too many"? Is there a surplus of lawyers? What sort of lawyers are and will be needed? How best can we discern this? These questions and more are addressed here in scholarly articles presented at the Onati International Institute for the Sociology of Law (Spain) by some of the best researchers in the field. The collection, witha chapter by Prof. Richard L. Abel, addresses methodological, normative and policy questions regarding the number of lawyers in particular countries and worldwide, while connecting this phenomenon to political, social, economic, historical, cultural and comparative contexts. This book was previously published as a special issue of the International Journal of the Legal Profession
