On Monday, January 27, the Board of Justice will provide opinion about Gunars Kusins, the candidate to the office of the judge of the Constitutional Court. The candidate to the office of the judge of the Constitutional Court was nominated by 12 deputies of the Saeima (the Parliament).
Agenda of the sitting of the Board of Justice also includes other issues related to judicial career.
The Board of Justice will also discuss question about fixing of course of a court hearing in audio record and problems of use of technical means.

Agenda of the sitting also includes other questions advanced by the Ministry of Justice – on foundation of joint institution of forensic expertises, on amendments planned for transition to “clear court instances” in adjudication of civil cases and on increasing of responsibility of parties to the case for indecent use of rights in civil procedure.
