Address to the High Council of Justice
The honorable members of the High Council of Justice,
The Coalition for an Independent and Transparent Judiciary addresses you with regard to the legislative amendments introduced to the process of appointing judges as the time of enacting these amendments is approaching.
As you are aware, upon the swearing in of the newly elected President, a constitutional norm requiring a lifetime appointment of judges will enter into force. Yet another amendment made to the Law of Georgia on Common Law Courts will come into force at that time too, which envisages the appointment of judges for a trial period of three years and the monitoring of their activity during that period. It is also well known that after the enactment of those amendments (probably, on 19 November), the High Council of Justice plans to hold a session to appoint judges in accordance with the new rule (for a three-year trial period).
