The needs analysis of Israeli law students demonstrates the multifaceted factors involved in determining the needs of Israeli law students studying English as a foreign language. The needs include global ones, stemming from both the historical and present indebtedness of Israeli law to English law and the common law system, and individual ones which include both short term and long term needs. Short term needs reflect law school academic requirements, and long term needs reflect the professional needs of Israeli practitioners. In addition to the conflicting demands and requirements in the target situation analysis (TSA), this paper also briefly considers the deficiencies and constraints without which the needs portrayal would lead to unrealistic conclusions. The needs and the constraints together furnish a balanced presentation of the language learning situation in Israeli law schools, and thus provide the guidelines for setting the necessary priorities.
