A bench that never laughs is a bench that breaks. Circle the answers in chambers, not on the record. Prize: the respect of the colleague who makes the tea.
Six questions for the tea room
1. Which section of the Constitution places judicial authority in the courts and requires organs of state to assist and protect them?
2. Which Constitutional Court case is the first port of call when someone suggests that magistrates are not judicial officers?
3. Which 2016 Constitutional Court judgment confirmed the NSPCA’s power of private prosecution?
4. A neighbour who loiters and sends anonymous messages, with no domestic relationship, is a file under which Act?
5. Section 24 of the Constitution protects what, for present and future generations?
6. True or false: retirement closes the book on a judicial officer’s accountability.
