Supreme Court Reduces Judicial Service Practice Requirement to One Year with Training
The Supreme Court has modified its May 2025 ruling on judicial service entry requirements by reducing the mandatory legal practice period from three years to one year. Candidates for exams notified between May 25, 2025, and March 31, 2027, can apply without prior experience but must complete one year of judicial academy training and one year of structured clerkship upon selection. For exams after April 1, 2027, this new framework will apply. The decision was made by a 2:1 majority, with one justice dissenting.
