Question

True or false?
Judges can never be removed from office even where they have developed a debilitating illness as this would constitute unfair discrimination.

Answer 1

False. Judges can be removed from office under certain circumstances, including incapacitation due to a debilitating illness. The procedures for removal vary by jurisdiction but generally involve a process that may include legislative actions, disciplinary boards, or other mechanisms determined by judicial conduct codes. While it is important to protect against unfair discrimination, the capacity to perform judicial duties is a legitimate concern that can lead to removal in appropriate cases.
