Judgment to the parity law: lawyers criticize the justice of

lawyers have criticised the reaction of left politicians to the judgment of the Thuringian constitutional court of the so-called parity law.

The President of the bar Association of Thuringia, Jan Helge Kestel, said the F. A. S.: "attacks that draw the court's legitimacy in doubt, do not accept." When the gender of a judge as "the sole basis of his decision, then that is the delegitimization of the courts on the crown". Kestel stressed that constitutional court judges were already a political balance, rather than following to the office. This is already a guarantee for a balanced decision.

More women on the court have not necessarily led to a different verdict. However, Kreuder-Sonnen, and to increase the number of women on constitutional courts.
