The chief judge leading the case is also expected to be decided tomorrow through a random electronic dividend method.

The Constitutional Court is expected to organize issues and witness lists after preparing arguments for the next two to four weeks, and hold weekly hearings to focus on hearing.

The Constitutional Court must issue a sentence within 180 days from the date of receipt of the case.

If the trial period is exhausted, the sentence will come out in June, but the Constitutional Court plans to proceed with the impeachment trial process as quickly as possible.

According to the precedent, it took 63 days for former President Roh Moo Hyun and 91 days for former President Park Geun Hye from the filing of the case to the sentencing.
