58 No. 59 JUSTICE Court referred to this book's comparative study on the definition of slavery by the ECtHR convicting, for the first time in Israel, the Julani couple for holding a Philippine woman who worked in their household in Jerusalem in conditions of slavery. The ECHR and its rich case law may serve as a source of inspiration for judges, lawyers and scholars, especially equipped with the comparative input and the systematic, comprehensive analysis thereof. The book may also raise awareness among Israelis as to their potential right of access to the ECtHR in case of a violation of their rights by any of the 47 European states that are bound by the Convention. n Nellie Munin (LLD, Adv.) is an independent scholar, former associate professor, law school, Zefat Academic College, Israel. Former Minister of Economic Affairs in the Israeli Mission to the EU. Former Chief Legal Advisor, State Revenue Administration, Israel Ministry of Finance. PAUL OGDEN – IN MEMORIAM This year, the IAJLJ lost a dear friend who contributed his valuable time and passion to the Association – Paul Ogden z"l. Paul was an advisor and friend from the very first moment. He improved my English and explained why one must write in a certain way or another. He worked with me, and together we built the previous IAJLJ website – he proofread, gave advice on web design and its contents, and much more. We worked together when he was the language editor of JUSTICE (then I learned a great deal from him on editing, pagination, and the appearance of the publication). Together we wrote the first IAJLJ newsletter about five years ago, and thereafter, so much more. Paul cared about the IAJLJ and its activities, and therefore it was important for him to participate in various conferences and events of the organization over the years. Beyond the professional aspect, we shared mutual fondness for animals, for good coffee, and cherished discussions on the future of the State of Israel and its status in the international arena. The notice of his death was unexpected, and left us in deep grief. We did not have a chance to tell him all that he meant to this organization before he parted. I take this opportunity to say goodbye to a man who first and foremost was a good person of values, a friend and colleague, and I am grateful for his constructive and genuine friendship. Irit Kohn, President of the IAJLJ, joins in expressing the Association's sincere appreciation of his great contribution over the years and sorrow at his loss. May his memory be blessed.
