Hello. I am not native speaker. But I think it is grammatically correct to say "all of the judicial system needs an overhaul".

We use all the and not the whole with uncountable nouns.

Thank you very much, Angelina. What about the "the whole judicial system needs an overhaul" and "all of the judicial system needs an overhaul"?

It is grammatically correct to say "all of September" but many Americans will speak using "all September" instead. Either one is fine to use in my opinion.
