In the proposed draft position the author points to the incompatibility with Article 45 para. 1 of the Constitution of Article 75 § 4 of the Act – Law on Common Courts System, in so far as it denies the right of appeal to the court against the decision of the Minister of Justice rejecting the request from a judge to be moved to a different place of office. The decision of the Minister, based on his/her own discretion, should be subject to judicial review, as it is taken neither within the scope of administrative supervision over the courts, nor even by means of official superiority, but rather relates to the systemic position of a judge determined by his/her rights and obligations. In the opinion of the author, Article 75 § 1 of the above Act, in so far as it does not specify the conditions for move to another post, is in conformity with Article 47, Article 52 para. 1, Article 65 para. 1 in conjunction with Article 31 para. 3 of the Constitution. This provision contains a mechanism that properly balances the public interest and private interest. On the one hand, it allows the change of place of adjudication established in the appointment document, providing an exception to the principle of stabilization of the office of judge. On the other hand, it guarantees an efficient and fair administration of justice.

The opinion is based on the analysis of a number of detailed problems related to the procedure for submitting candidatures for members of the National Council of the Judiciary, from among judges, in relation to the provisions of the Act of 8 December 2017 amending the Act on the National Council of the Judiciary and some related acts. The author is of the opinion that the time limits specified in the abovementioned act and the amending act of 8 December 2017, related to the procedure for nominating judges — members of the Council, worded as follows: “in the period of […] days beginning with the day […]”, begin to run on the day following the day of an event effecting the running of a time limit. The author also points to inconsistencies of particular, newly introduced, provisions of the act on the National Council of the Judiciary

K 5/17, concerning methods of election of members of the National Council of the Judiciary’s, provided by rules the Act on the National Council of the Judiciary, the author claims that these rules are incompatible with the Constitution. Omission of regulations which state that terms of office of all members should commence on the same date is another reason of unconstitutionality of these provisions.

The article is an analysis of the institution of opposition to the intention of additional employment or occupation by a judge. Firstly, it is necessary to examine the problem of proper shape of the supervision over courts in the legal system of Poland from the theoretical point of view. The paper focuses on the dependence between the model of administrative supervision adopted in Polish judicial system and the efficiency of courts as well as their perception by the public. The tension that arises in this context involves the simultaneous consideration within the framework of administrative supervision of judicial independence and the efficiency of the court’s activity, the separation of the judiciary from other authorities and the need for its co-operation with the legislature and the executive power. Then, it is examined how opposition to the intention of additional employment or occupation by a judge is conducted.

The draft position of the Sejm on the application of the First President of the Supreme Court, submitted to the Constitutional Tribunal, states that the indicated provision of the Act – Law on the System of Common Courts, insofar as it excludes the simultaneous payment of retired judge’s salary and pension from the Social Insurance Institution, is consistent with the Constitution. The constitutionality of the provisions of the Act on the Social Insurance System has also been demonstrated insofar as they make judges in the active status, serving full-time and at the same time taking up additional employment or occupation, subject to pension insurance.

The author analyses the Deputies’ bill of the Act on Magistrates’ Courts and Amending Certain Other Acts. The author acknowledges the necessity for a comprehensive regulation of the problem of excessive length of court proceedings. However she remains critical towards the bill in question. In the opinion of the author certain provisions of the proposed bill raise constitutional doubts or may cause constitutional reservations, inter alia, in the light of Article 179 of the Constitution. The author of the opinion points out that the bill also contains numerous legislative weaknesses.

In the article The nature and the meaning of the activities of National Coun-cil of the Judiciary we find a historic view leading to creating of this institution. The council arises as result of the reconstruction of the system in Poland and becomes a constitutional body which stands on the guard of the independence of courts and independences of judges. We find a description of the organizational structure of the institution. The Council consists of the persons fulfilling highest functions in judicial institutions nominated by the President of Poland and the group of the outstanding judges appointed in the way of the election. The competences of the Council concern the important and delicate matter of the judging. Therefore the first group of the competences of the Council refers to undertaking actions in relation to judges and candidates on judges. The second group of the competences was determined in laws and concerns undertaking of resolutions, investigating of motions and presenting of candidates on other im-portant posts in State-institutions related to the judicial power. The National Council of the Judiciary in the matter of the own organization has the total au-tonomy and through this has an independent position in the political system of the state. This rule expresses herself mainly in exclusive appointing of various internal commissions. Council committees are teams of council members which are her internal organizational units of the auxiliary character, enabling the effec-tive exercise of constitutional and statutory tasks of the Council.

The presented opinion illustrates the Sejm’s position on the application lodged to the Constitutional Tribunal by the First President of the Supreme Court for an adjudication upon the conformity of the Act of 22nd December 2011 on Amendment of Certain Acts Related to the Implementation of the Budget Act (reference symbol of files K 1/12) to the Constitution. Sponsor deems the regulations retaining in 2012 the levels of judicial remunerations from previous year inconsistent with article 2, article 31(3), article 64(1–2), article 88(1–2), article 216(5), article 219(1–2), article 220(1) and article 221 of the Constitution. Sejm has rejected the sponsor’s claims, concluding that the contested regulations shall be deemed consistent with the Constitution.

The article deals with the normative patterns of communication of judges in a theoretical perspective. Their identification is thus taken as a universal problem, occurring in all legal cultures and regardless of current disputes concerning them. It is assumed that normative patterns of communication among judges are built on the understanding of the role of the judge and the place of the judiciary within checks and balances. Based on the assumption that the role of judges and the status of the judiciary have evolved, three successive historical models of judicial communication were proposed, i.e. the first model – impersonal, the second – self restrained, and the third – accurate communication. The thesis was also put forward that the last of the models may prove to be inadequate in the face of contemporary challenges, resulting primarily from cultural changes driven by the development of new communication technologies.

The opinion refers to two problems: Can a judge delegated to the Ministry of Justice be a member of the National Council of the Judiciary? Can a retired judge be a member of the National Council of the Judiciary? As regards the fi rst issue, the author points to the fact that a judge delegated to the Ministry of Justice is still a judge, although s/he does not pass judgments, and the act on the National Council of the Judiciary does not condition the admissibility to run for the position of its member thereon, but on having the status of a judge. Hence, a judge delegated to the Ministry of Justice may be a candidate to the National Council of the Judiciary. As regards retired judges, they may not be candidates to the National Council of the Judiciary, as they do not hold offices (are not in service); retirement results primarily in the removal of the judicial power, as well as particular corporate rights and obligations. The jurisprudence of both the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Tribunal defi nes the essence of retirement, recognizing a retired person as “inactive” in the sphere of the holding an offi ce. It is emphasized in the literature that judges nominated to the National Council of the Judiciary must be elected “from among judges”. It stems therefrom that they must be persons holding positions of a judge within a given category of courts and that nominating a retired judge is inadmissible. In addition, as regards members of the Council who retire or are moved into retirement during the term, their mandates expire before the end of the term, which manifests the legislator’s will for the positions of members of the National Council of the Judiciary not to be fi lled by retired judges

Moreover it was claimed that the rule referring to appointing a judicial member of the National Council of the Judiciary by the Sejm conforms to the Constitution.

The problems deliberated upon include: the moral justification of punishing judges for mentioned disciplinary delicts and critical evaluation of Supreme Court view about this responsibility. A question is asked about reconsidering the interpretation of obvious and flagrant legal misconduct according to modern times and the complicated social and law reality.

The article presents basic findings about courts of honor in Lithuania. The data about disciplinary violations in five legal professions-judges, lawyers, prosecutors, notaries, and bailiffs-was obtained while implementing a scientific project on certain issues of legal ethics. The article provides data on the following issues: subjects initiating disciplinary cases; the number of cases for each legal profession; decisions taken in cases of disciplinary violations; categories of disciplinary violations; sanctions provided. The article is intended to initiate further discussion about these matters among scientists, practitioners, and the general public, not just in Lithuania but in other countries as well.

This paper focuses on the issue of whether the boundaries of the private lives of judges are shaped according to cultural conditions and gender. My main assumption is that gender inequality in a culture is reflected in how the boundaries of the private life of judges are interpreted. In this regard, women judges may face more restrictions than their male colleagues in what they wear, what they do and what they say in their lives generally. And ultimately, an interpretation of private life that reinforces gender roles also limits the freedom of expression. I concretise my discussion regarding gender stereotypes that influence what judges do or say in their private lives in different cultures.

During the reign of Croatian Ban (Viceroy) Ivan Mažuranić (1873–1880), numerous reforms were implemented in the administration, the school system and the judiciary, since the political programme of his rule was based on building a modern legal infrastructure of Croatian autonomy. Already during the first year of his rule, Ban Ivan Mažuranić proposed to the Parliament the Act on Judicial Authority (Zakon o vlasti sudačkoj), which was adopted already next year, in 1874, to be considered one of the fundamental acts of the Croatian autonomous legal system. Aiming to disburden the judiciary in the first instance, in 1876, Ban Mažuranić followed the Act on Local Courts and Procedures (Zakon o mjesnim sudovima i postupku pred njima) to establish a court in each municipality authorised to deal with disputes over small sums of money. Although these were lay courts with features of administrative authority, this did not in any way threaten their position as a judicial authority. In practice, local courts acted as an effective and almost free system of the laity that disburdened greatly the judiciary and opened the way to modernisation of the Triune Kingdom of Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia according to European standards of a modern civil state.

Celem artykułu jest analiza czynników, które mają wpływ na efektywność sędziego mierzoną liczbą załatwionych spraw, oraz związku pomiędzy efektywnością sędziego a otrzymywanym przez niego wynagrodzeniem. W tym celu przeprowadzono badania wśród sędziów sądów rejonowych i sądu okręgowego (jednego z największych okręgów w Polsce). Analiza wyników badań wskazuje, że wysokość wynagrodzenia i stabilizacja stosunku pracy są głównymi czynnikami wyboru drogi zawodowej. Osiągnięcie tego celu powoduje, że wynagrodzenie nie jest czynnikiem istotnym przy określeniu efektywności sędziego rozumianej jako liczba załatwionych spraw. Sędzia monitoruje swoją załatwialność i zależy mu na wynikach ilościowych, ale czyni to z innych pobudek niż wynagrodzenie. Jak się wydaje, takimi podstawowymi pobudkami są poczucie wypełnianej misji oraz należycie wypełnianego obowiązku.

The goal of this paper is the analysis of the factors influencing the efficiency of a judge measured against the number of cases heard and the relation between the efficiency of a judge and their remuneration. To do so, a study has been conducted among judges of district courts and a regional court in one of the largest regions in Poland. The analysis of this research shows that the level of remuneration and work stabilization are the most important when choosing the profession. Achieving this goal makes the remuneration unimportant when defining the efficiency of a judge understood as a number of cases heard. The judge monitors the number of cases heard and focuses on quantitative results due to other reasons than the remuneration. The fundamental reasons are: the sense of the mission completed and the duty done.

L’auteur du présent article se pose pour but d’apporer la résponse à une question qui continue d’être l’objet de controverse: des mots tels que ʽădat-ʼel, ělōhîm ou benê eliōn doivent-ils être interprétés littéralement, dans lequel cas ils signifieraient les dieux des paiens, ou parlent-ils, de façon métaphorique, des juges injustes? Ayant examiné, de façon critique, l’interprétation littérale et se basant sur des textes tels que Ex. 21, 6 et 22, 7, Ex. 18, 13-27, Deut. 1, 9-18 et sur le Psaume 45, 7, l’auteur penche pour Interprétation métaphorique. L’analyse du contenu du Psaume 82 semble confirmer une telle opinion. Cependant, dans la représentation du jugement de Jahw e sur les juges injustes, l’auteur du Psaume 82 se servit de quantité d’images de mythologie autre qu’israélienne pour évoquer l’apparition future de Jahwe jugeant l’lsraël.
