In the rankings conducted by the European Commission, the judicial system in Ireland was classified as the second in Europe due to the high degree of independence of the courts from other bodies. At the same time, this system, unlike in many other European countries, is strongly dispersed. Recent years have been a time of reforming the organisation of the judiciary, and the Judicial Council Act, introduced in July 2019, was supposed to solve most of the burning problems. Despite equipping the newly-established Judicial Council with a number of competences, it seems that without a thorough change of the whole system and creation of a body that would be responsible for performing at least most of the tasks related to the administration of the judiciary, the situation of judges in Ireland will not improve.

The Latvian Judicial Council (Tieslietu padome) is a central non-constitutional body of the state, functionally connected with the judiciary. It consists not only of judges but also representatives of the legal professions and representatives of other authorities (i.e. the Minister of Justice (tieslietu ministrs), the Prosecutor General (ģenerālprokurors), the Chairman of the Parliamentary Legal Committee (Saeimas Juridiskās komisijas priekšsēdētājs) or their deputies). The mixed composition of the Council does not disqualify it as an independent body that can potentially eff ectively perform tasks related to the protection of the independence of the courts and the independence of the judiciary. The Latvian Judicial Council is, however, a body with a very wide spectrum of activity, which, although it does not follow directly from the constitution (Satversme), allows it to freely exercise not only its applicant (both in relation to Saeima and the Constitutional Tribunal) and opinion-making but also decision-making functions (on conceptual issues and organisational judiciary and matters related to the career path of judges). The statutory nature of competences allows for their scope to be shaped quite freely, giving the possibility of adapting the Council’s tasks to the changing needs of the state — which of course can be seen as an advantage as well as a disadvantage of the Tieslietu padome model.
