You have not fix systemic issues with bail conditions, sentencing, and rehabilitation

sentencing shut down. More work with legal community to reforms sentencing practices

appointments should be done without partisan appointment. There should be a committee set up with
MPs and legal profession as part of Supreme Court judge appointments

balancing the traditional ways with modern ways to support economic opportunity for all
