Courts Law (Amendment – Determining Panels in the Supreme Court and Determining a Further Hearing) Bill

What does the bill do?

The bill amends the Courts Law in two respects: first, it will replace the assignment of panels at the Supreme Court from the discretion of the President of the Court to a computerized method without human intervention, so that it will not be possible to influence the outcome of the case in advance. Second, a request for a further hearing on a petition at the Supreme Court will be heard by a panel that includes all the justices of the court, and not only a selection of a few justices by the President of the Court or another justice.
