| Abstract: | The appointment of former magistrates Doreen Clarke and Josette Demicoli as judges has, for the very first time in the history of independent Malta, prized merit over political patronage in judicial appointment. Of course, it has been quite a long-winded and tortuous route to arrive here - 58 years following Independence - and it was not surely thanks to the foresight of our political class who wanted to retain the power to dictate who should be appointed judge and magistrate. |
