The so-called 'Three Judicial Laws' (pertaining to the crime of law distortion, judicial appeals, and the increase of Supreme Court justices) will officially take effect from midnight on the 11th. The crimes of law distortion and judicial appeals will begin functioning immediately upon the legal announcement, while the increase in the number of Supreme Court justices will commence in March 2028, with four additional justices added each year for three years. This development follows the passing of the laws by President Lee Jae-myung at the National Assembly a week prior, reflecting a swift legislative process.

Once the judicial appeals law is announced at midnight, individuals will be able to immediately submit requests for constitutional review against final court judgments. The Constitutional Court has also prepared to overhaul its online portal to enable electronic filing of these cases once the law takes effect, showcasing readiness for the implementation of these new judicial processes. Additionally, the rules regarding the court's review protocols in relation to the judicial appeals will also be posted on the official gazette the same day.

Moreover, the law regarding distortion of law outlines serious penalties for judges and prosecutors engaged in unlawful activities by manipulating legal statutes to grant undue advantages or harm rights during ongoing cases. This legislation places a maximum penalty of ten years in prison and a similar duration of disqualification from legal duties. The law intended to amend the judiciary's efficiency and integrity is part of broader reforms by the current administration aimed at enhancing public trust in judicial structures, highlighting its significance in the larger context of South Korea's legal system reforms.
