[Reporter]
The judges' meeting was held at the main office of the Constitutional Court from 10 a.m. today.
It has been reported that the specific case handling schedule will be discussed here.
The judges' meeting itself is impossible to cover, but it is expected to be confirmed through a briefing by the Constitutional Public Affairs Officer this afternoon.
Judge Kim Hyung-doo also met with reporters on his way to work this morning and made a related comment.
I'll listen to it myself.
[Kim Hyung-doo / Constitutional Judge] I think we're going to talk about the process. It is expected to talk about such issues as how to proceed with the preparation process and how to plead.]
The Constitutional Court will also decide today the chief justice of the case.
The referee, which is decided through random electronic dividends, is in principle private, but it is expected to be disclosed in consideration of the importance of the presidential impeachment trial.
The Constitutional Court also said it would form a team dedicated to legal review consisting of constitutional researchers.
This procedure is also expected to proceed today.

The Constitutional Court will also notify President Yoon of the receipt of the impeachment case today?
[Reporter]
That's right.
The Constitutional Court today delivers a copy of the impeachment request to President Yoon and notifies him that the case has been filed.
Legally, once the request for trial is received, it is required to serve the respondent, that is, the president in this case.The service did not take place over the weekend as the impeachment vote against President
Yoon took place on Saturday.
The Constitutional Court is also expected to ask President Yoon to submit an answer to the impeachment today.
The respondent, President Yoon, can send an answer to the purpose and reason of the request for a trial.
However, impeachment is not automatically cited even if you do not submit an answer.
