The State Judicial Administration has begun surveying newly appointed judges to find out the real state of court security. I have a judge friend who was recently appointed and says he has to make repairs in his office at his own expense. Should he have officially notified the court management about this?
How can I protect myself from threats if I work as a judge? Are there any special protection mechanisms for judges in Ukraine?
Do you consider it fair to restrict the prohibition of members of the High Council of Justice and their relatives from applying for the position of judge for a certain period of time after dismissal?
I am interested in whether the practice of regular evaluation of judges, which the HQCJ plans to introduce, contradicts the principles of judicial independence and whether it can affect the objectivity of judicial decisions? Is this evaluation considered legal from the point of view of Ukrainian legislation?
If I am a judge, am I required to inform the judicial governance bodies about the actual security of my court if the information I provide could be used against me or affect my work? Do I have the right to confidentiality in this matter?
