The Judges Election Commission prepared 8 questions on crime, crime procedure, civil and civil process during a 2-hour close meeting. 2 questions among them were selected at random with the participation of two observers. Answering reportersâ€™ questions the Commission chief Iman Nagiyev stated that during the four-hour examination the candidates are to define the essence of the question and content of the law, to settle cases and to demonstrate the ability to express conception of the law.
