Judges' results to be announced

JAKARTA: The Supreme Court is expected to announce on May 10
the results of the written examinations sat by 179 candidates who
applied to be appointed as ad hoc judges of the anticorruption
courts in Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang and Surabaya.

"Those who pass the examinations will have to sit a
psychological test in Jakarta," Suparno, the Supreme Court's
legal and judicial director, said on Wednesday.

There were originally 188 applications for the judgeships, but
nine candidates failed to turn up to sit the written
examinations. The Supreme Court is seeking only 16 ad hoc judges
to fill vacancies at the first instance, high court and Supreme
Court levels. -- JP
