Three nominated for upcoming vacancy on Alaska Supreme Court
The Alaska Judicial Council has nominated three candidates for an upcoming vacancy on the Alaska Supreme Court: Kate Demarest, Josie Garton, and Aimee Oravec. Governor Mike Dunleavy will select one of them, potentially creating the first majority-female Supreme Court in Alaska's history. The nominees were chosen unanimously, with Oravec receiving a 5-0 vote due to a recusal. The vacancy arises from Justice Peter Maassen's scheduled retirement in 2025. A statewide survey rated Garton highest among the nominees. The council's decision-making process included public testimony, though no comments were made.

Ibrahim takes charge of the top court as Mutunga retires
Supreme Court Judge Mohammed Ibrahim assumed the role of administrative head of Kenya's Supreme Court as Chief Justice Willy Mutunga retired after five years. The court is currently unable to hear cases due to a lack of the required number of judges. Mutunga's departure leaves three vacancies in the Supreme Court, which the Judicial Service Commission must fill. The process of replacing the judges faces challenges, including delays in publishing vacancies in the Kenya Gazette. The High Court recently ruled against an amendment that would have given President Uhuru Kenyatta the power to appoint the Chief Justice and Deputy Chief Justice, emphasizing the need for open and accountable processes.

US set for blistering battle in quest to name top judge
The anticipated resignation of a Supreme Court judge has led to speculation about a contentious succession battle. Sandra Day O'Connor's departure, instead of Chief Justice William Rehnquist, creates the first vacancy in 11 years. President George W. Bush is responsible for nominating her replacement, while the Senate has the power to confirm or block the nominee. The Supreme Court's role in shaping the social landscape through landmark rulings is highlighted. Various potential nominees are discussed, including Michael McConnell, John Roberts, Michael Luttig, and Alberto Gonzales, each with their own ideological leanings and judicial records. The process is expected to be highly contentious, with significant implications for issues such as abortion, affirmative action, and the separation of church and state.

CEC, judges appointment laws: Draft amendments submitted to NA secretary
Sunni Ittehad Council lawmakers, including Asad Qaiser, have submitted draft amendments to the National Assembly for modifying the laws governing the appointments of the chief election commissioner and judges. The proposed amendments advocate for a rotation policy for the CEC to ensure equal provincial representation and a merit-based competitive test for judge appointments to prevent nepotism. The PTI-SIC coalition also demands the appointment of Omar Ayub Khan as the opposition leader in the National Assembly. The PTI has accused the current CEC, Sikandar Sultan Raja, of biased decisions and election rigging, calling for his resignation following the February 8 general elections.

Out of options, out of time
Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's longest-serving prime minister, is struggling to form a governing coalition after the fourth election in two years. His trial for bribery, fraud, and breach of trust complicates his position, as he seeks to retain legal immunity. Netanyahu's previous coalition with Benny Gantz's Blue and White party collapsed over budget disagreements. The Supreme Court blocked Netanyahu's attempt to appoint Ofir Akunis as justice minister, citing conflict of interest laws. Gantz was appointed instead. Netanyahu has offered a rotation of the prime minister's position to Gantz, Naftali Bennett, and Gideon Sa'ar, but they refuse to share power with Netanyahu as Likud's leader. Bennett and Sa'ar are open to a unity coalition with Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid and left-leaning parties. Lapid's supporters are willing to see Bennett become prime minister. Mansour Abbas of the United Arab List is also being considered for a broad coalition, despite opposition from right-wing factions. Erel Margalit of Jerusalem Venture Partners believes a post-Netanyahu government could bring a new political dynamic to Israel.
