> Each minister has ~40 judges - not counting other staffers, law clerks, specialists, chief of staff - under them
Not true. Each minister can pick only 3 assistant judges. There are only 38 assistant judges for the whole Supreme Court.
From the Supreme Court's website. I combined auxiliary, instructor and substitute judges as assistant judges.
You are right. They are "law clerks" only, I thought there were many more judges.
Doesn't change the fact that these are not decisons being hammered down on a whim by dictators that "didn't read" them
