Federal Courts Resume Regular Services

Ethiopian Federal Courts have officially resumed their regular judicial services as of Monday, October 12, 2026 (Tikimt 2, 2019 E.C.). The courts had been partially closed for the past two months, from August 7 to October 10, 2026, for their annual recess. This annual break is granted to judges to manage the complexity and workload of the judicial system. During the closure period, the courts continued to handle urgent, time-sensitive cases and matters ready for final rulings. Now that the recess is over, all standard court operations and proceedings have fully restarted.
