He was an associate professor at Tel Aviv University and the Herzliya Interdisciplinary Center.
During his tenure, the State Control Committee appointed the Bejski Commission to investigate the bank stock crisis of 1983.
After he was elected to the thirteenth Knesset for the Labor Party, he was appointed Minister of Justice by Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
