To become a judge, candidates must pass a psychological test. RA Minister of Justice Rustam Badasyan stated this at the 25 February parliamentary hearings in the National Assembly.
The test platform is a requirement of a new draft law, which will be developed in the future.
Notably, the Ministry of Justice had submitted for public discussion the draft law on making amendments and supplements to the Judicial Code, as well as to the Law on the Constitutional Court and related laws.
According to the draft, the age limit has been reduced from 28 to 25, and 3 years instead of 5 years of professional experience.
The current Judicial Code provides that a person who has a degree in law and has been teaching law for at least 5 years in higher education or who has done scientific work in a scientific institution shall have the right to apply to the Supreme Judicial Council for being included in the candidates’ list.
