韩国国会周二通过共同民主党提出的法案，在首尔法院设立专属审判庭，专门审理叛乱、外患及内乱刑事案件。该法案两天前提出，经受住了在野党的阻挠演说，此举引发了对司法独立性的持续担忧，并可能为特定案件的司法变更设定先例。
韩国国会周二批准了一项法案，要求首尔中央地方法院和首尔高等法院各至少设立两个专属审判庭，专门处理叛乱、外患和内乱案件。由民主党（DP）提出的该措施最早于12月22日提出，经过修改——包括将法官遴选从外部推荐委员会改为法院自身的法官会议——以解决合宪性问题。
尽管进行了这些修改，批评者包括发起周日阻挠辩论的人民力量党（PPP）领袖张东赫，他们认为这仍是针对前总统尹锡悦失败戒严令尝试相关程序的违宪“特定案件”立法。PPP敦促李在明总统否决该法案。
预见到法案通过，首尔高等法院周日举行法官会议以扩充审判庭，此举引发了对案件随机分配和追溯适用的质疑。一项单独条款为叛乱相关逮捕令指派专属法官，可能与未来调查相关。
该法的合宪性很可能将在宪法法院接受考验，因为司法界正捍卫其独立性免受立法压力。
