OF THE JUDICIAL POWER AND MAINTENANCE OF JUSTICE. ARTICLE 115.--The people entrust the administration of justice to: (_a_) A High Court. (_b_) A Circuit Court. (_c_) The Landrosts, in their capacity as such, and such other officials as are clothed with judicial competence by the law. The Courts give judgment as soon as possible after the close of the case. The Chief Justice and puisne judges must be duly graduated in law (_in de rechten gepromoveerd_). The public ministry of public prosecution rests with the State Attorney, and under his supervision with the public prosecutors of the various districts. The members of the two first Courts are appointed for their lives. The law regulates the manner in which the discharge shall be granted them, either honourably or the reverse, in case of misconduct or incapacity. |
