Judicial Selection Committee selects 68 officials for court system after year-and-a-half freeze
The move begins to address a shortage that the High Court of Justice said had caused serious harm to court services and the public, but it does not fully resolve the district-court vacancy crisis
Assessment
After 18 months of inaction, the committee has finally moved on 68 appointments, responding to High Court pressure over degraded court services. The selection addresses only part of a deeper shortage, leaving district courts understaffed. The gap between the partial fix and the systemic vacancy crisis will determine whether further legal intervention or political negotiation follows.
