Court personnel holding senior positions have to get ready for resignation if their spouses or children are taking off or proceeding with a legal career this year, according to a new regulation issued by Chongqing People's Court, Chongqing Evening News reported yesterday.
Present holders of senior posts may lose their post if their spouses or children become lawyers, said the regulation intended to ensure judicial justice.
According to Qian Feng, president of the municipal higher people's court, personnel whose spouses or children are already lawyers will be barred from nomination for some key posts such as presidents and judges.
