The New Law Year is when the Judiciary officially opens to the general public and also draws a plan of what it intends to do in the new law year and reveals the same to the public.

To that effect, Katureebe outlined several plans to hundreds of lawyers and judges who had converged at High Court grounds that the Judiciary he heads intends to do in this new law year.

According to the new set targets for the judicial officers this new law year(2016), each Supreme Court justice is expected to hear 80 cases, Court of Appeal/Constitutional Court justice; 600 cases, High Court judge; 300 cases, Registrars; 400, Chief Magistrate 600 cases, New Grade One Magistrate; 300 cases, Magistrate Grade Two 300 cases.

Justice Katureebe as well proposed that the High Court circuit at Nakawa that serves several central Buganda Districts will be restructured and if need be, merged into existing Divisions of the High Court.
