In Germany, 2022 has been a turbulent year regarding former (extreme) right-wing Members of Parliament (MP) returning to their original office as civil servants and judges. Two cases created special great media attention: Jens Maier and Birgit Malsack-Winkemann, demanded (and partly succeeded) to return to serve as judges again. These cases bring the (often problematic) relationship between judges and politics into sharper focus. Therefore, we would like to provide access to the German debate on to an English reading audience as food for possible comparative insights.
