News: Lessons from India on the issue of Supreme Court justice term limits

Co-Editor Sital Kalantry published an Op-Ed titled Lessons from India on the issue of Supreme Court justice term limits with The Hill on April 20, 2021. Excerpt below.

"In response to calls to reform the Supreme Court, President Biden created a new commission to study the idea of increasing its size and adding term limits for justices. The panel should avoid falling into the old trap that the United States has little to learn from other countries. The Supreme Court of India, the largest common law bench in the world with jurisdiction over one billion people, suggests that imposing term limits on justices could negatively affect independence. A Supreme Court with a revolving door could also flip flop on issues of major significance such as abortion."
