CBMK0053 Justice Ian Jackman deserves applause.It takes integrity to call out issue within his own profession

Federal Court Justice Ian Jackman has done something almost unheard of—he publicly criticised six current and former colleagues for taking years to deliver judgments, with some cases delayed for up to 3½ years. Jackman argued these "egregious" delays undermine the rule of law, damage public confidence, and leave people's lives, businesses and livelihoods in limbo.

He said judges themselves are often the biggest source of unreasonable delays and called for greater accountability within the judiciary. Commentary: Justice Ian Jackman deserves applause.

It takes integrity to call out problems within your own profession instead of pretending they don't exist. Accountability shouldn't stop at politicians or public servants—it should apply to judges too.

If the justice system expects Australians to meet deadlines, obey court orders and respect the law, the system itself should be held to the same standard. #justiceianjackman #federalcourtjudge #australia #FederalCourtsLawReview #viralreelsシ Support the show Follow Code Black with Madison King
