A judicial reform group yesterday called for the drafting of a judges’ law to root out unqualified judges.

Directed at the judiciary and legislature, this call comes in the wake of a number of incidents in recent weeks in which Taiwan High Court judges have been found to have consorted with prostitutes and met mistresses during office hours as well as being accused of involvement in collective bribery.
