Final Impeachment Ruling Date May Be Announced Today

The date for the final decision on President Park Geun-hye's impeachment is expected to be finalized and announced today.

Many in the legal circles reportedly expect the Constitutional Court will hold a general meeting of the judges this morning and decide on the date for the final ruling.

The Constitutional Court normally issued rulings on the last Thursday of every month. However, given the national significance of this trial, they may designate a special deadline for the announcement.

March 10 is the most likely date, but March 13, when Acting Chief Judge Lee Jeong-mi retires, is also a likely candidate.
