Judicial Reforms and Retirement Age
Significant debate over government proposals to extend judges' retirement age and judicial amendments. Multiple stakeholders including BASL, opposition parties, and the President are engaged in discussions about constitutional changes and their implications.
Apparently extending judges' retirement is either "speeding up justice" or "North Korea vibes" depending on which press release you read first—nobody's quite sure which metaphor will stick, but they're all very confident about it.
