Seminal

Found this paragraph in a story on

The deliberations of Israel's High Court of Justice regarding petitions challenging key amendments to the Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law that currently bans Palestinians marrying Israeli citizens from living within the Green Line.

The Adalah organization lawyers argued that "the Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law discriminates on the basis of nationality and on the basis of ethnicity, and that violates the constitutional rights to family life, dignity and equality in a sweeping manner."

Here is the paragraph and the key term:

The final expert opinion was written by attorney Anton Katz, a specialist in constitutional law in South Africa who provides legal representation on numerous seminal cases of restrictions on the right to family life before the Constitutional Court of South Africa. Katz's opinion regards the right to family life using specific cases in South Africa in which he represented the appellants.


Nice use of English there.
