Times of Malta leads with a comment by the Chief Justice on Monday that lawyers who drag cases should be disbarred. The comment was made during the ceremony in court marking the opening of the forensic year.

The Malta Independent and L-orizzont pick up other remarks in the same ceremony. The Independent quotes the president of the Chamber of Advocates saying that a legal profession regulation bill is now being considered by the Office of the Attorney General.

L-orizzont also quotes the Chief Justice calling for the appointment of more judges.

It also reports about three arrests during a police drugs raid, and says that 19 workers are being dismissed from a Brandnstaeter subsidiary.
