alt= "Translated from original French artwork. Title: Bilingualism in the Supreme Court Illustration: A Supreme Court justice affirming in Latin “Subito presto?” (right away) and “Sine die?” (no date set). The documents he’s holding carry the following inscription: Habeas corpus (legal right to be heard), Sub judice (under judicial consideration) and Nolo contendere (guilty without admission).

The Government appoints bilingual justices to the Supreme Court, but does not plan to table draft legislation to formalize that practice.
