Rav Elyakim Krumbein The Image of the Jewish King According to the Torah Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading
Rav Yair Kahn Zion Shall Be Redeemed with Justice “You shall appoint shoftim (judges) and shotrim (policemen) in all your gates” (16:18). 'Gates' is a reference to gates of cities. Therefore, the term 'all your gates' is an allusion to cities in Eretz Yisrael. From here we get the impression that the mitzva to appoint shoftim is exclusive to Eretz Yisrael. The Ramban initially agrees with this interpretation, however adds an important modification. Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading
Rav Tamir Granot The Kohanim, the Levi'im The question of the relationship between the various branches of public authority is discussed at length by Chazal, and their understanding of it is rooted in some explicit verses in the Torah. Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading
Rav Yoel Bin-Nun The Will of the People and the Authority of the King: A Study of the Biblical Text Parashat Shoftim presents the idea of a Jewish king, but comparing it to the actual stories of kings like Shaul and David in Tanakh raises many questions.

We will also see how the king fits into the power structure delineated by the Torah, in terms of prophets, Kohanim and judges. Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading
Prof. Yonatan Grossman The Priests The Levites Among the social classes that are discussed in Parashat Shoftim, we find "the priests the Levites."
