The
President’s Office has sent a letter to S.Batdelger, Judge General of the
Supreme Court and also Director of the General Court Council. The letter seeks
an investigation into the details of the legal training and qualification of 13
judges appointed between 2001 and 2009. 
The President has asked Batdelger to ensure that the council follows a
minimum standard of requirements before a judge takes office

The
move from the President comes after a review by a committee of several
complaints about the way the judges functioned and the apparent arbitrariness
in their judicial work. The committee investigated case documents and also the
educational and professional diplomas of the judges. It was found that some of
the judges were enrolled in advanced centers of education without meeting the
admission requirements and also graduated in two and half years, while the
minimum course of study for a judge is 4 years. Their General Court Council
forwarded their names for a judgeship and these were approved by the President
of the time.

The
President has asked the court council to report back to him within 30 days.
