*Justice Adjei calls for end to "Additional judges" practice in lower courts* Supreme Court nominee, Justice Dennis Dominic Adjei, has called for an end to the controversial practice of assigning superior court judges to preside over cases in lower courts, arguing that it undermines judicial independence and deviates from international norms. Appearing before Parliament’s Appointments Committee on Monday, 16 June 2025, Justice Adjei described the system—where judges from higher courts serve as “additional judges” in lower courts—as outdated, unnecessary, and susceptible to undue influence. https://dennislawnews.com/article/justice-adjei-calls-for-end-to--additional-judges--practice-in-lower-courts
