one of the reforms is also slightly lowering the requirements to be a judge, actually, so that you don't need to have previously worked in the judicial system > candidates will no longer need to have a career in the judicial branch but will continue to need a law degree with an average of 9/10 in courses with related areas of expertise. and the former council that administrates, disciplines judges etc. is getting replaced for some reason > on the other hand, the functions of supervision of discipline, performance and sanctions of judicial officials will be carried out by the new judicial discipline tribunal (jdt), which will comprise five members. > the jdt will also have the power to impose sanctions (including suspension, fines, dismissal and disqualification), file criminal charges and request the impeachment of judges. > the members of the jdt will be elected by popular vote and serve a six-year term, with no possibility of re-election. the jdts decisions will be final and unappealable.
