Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi met senior judges yesterday to try to defuse a crisis over his seizure of new powers.
Mr Mursi's decree, last week, set off violent protests reminiscent of the revolution last year that led to the rise of his Islamist movement.
One person has been killed and about 370 injured in clashes between police and protesters over the decree shielding his decisions from judicial review.
