What is the procedure for removing judges
The process for removing judges from their positions typically involves the following steps:
- Investigation: Allegations against the judge are investigated by a competent authority or a governing body.
- Impeachment: In many countries, removal of judges requires an impeachment process initiated by the legislature.
- Trial: The judge facing removal may be provided an opportunity for a fair trial to present their defense.
- Vote: After the trial, a vote is usually taken by the relevant body to determine if the judge should be removed.
- Outcome: If the vote results in removal, the judge is effectively stripped of their position.
