Is it sad that more people could name a US supreme court case than one by their own highest court?

Will join in the consensus here, relative supreme court anonymity is as a rule good not bad.

Agree.

The fact that US SC cases are notorious is a badge of shame for the American political system. It's great laws we should know, not the political judiciary.

Though as a lawyer on private law I know far more house of lords verdicts than US SC cases.

The Israeli supreme court is one of the few supreme courts out there that can give the US one a run for it's money in terms of political controversy. I think among Israelis that wouldn't hold true.

What wouldn't hold true?
I think the Israeli SC is also overreaching and unlike the US there is a public debate on it and changes are actually being considered. Moreover, very few people know the names of court cases both here and abroad, even the ones that have a lot of influence. Lastly, the Israeli supreme court is overreaching but it drifts away from really core issues like the settlements.
