REVAMP OF JUDGE’S STATUS

Journal Title: Судова та слідча практика в Україні - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue

Abstract

The reformation process of the judicial system cannot be done without defining its purpose and strategy. Therefore, the President of Ukraine established the Council on judicial reform, which has developed the Strategy for the reform of the judicial system, justice and related legal institutes for 2015–2020, for which the Action Plan was adopted on the implementation of the provisions of the Strategy. The latter, in its turn, contained a detailed list of tasks, measures, expected results and indicators for implementation of the reform of the judiciary, justice and related legal institutes. The process of formation and development of the judicial system of independent Ukraine took place at certain stages, however, none of them could be called a complete judicial reform. Of course, no reform is going on without difficulty, but the need to reform the Ukrainian judicial system continues to be one of the main tasks for the state today. The key solutions to these tasks are the legislative consolidation of new foundations of the judicial system and the status of judges, ensuring access to justice, introducing a fair judicial procedure, ensuring independence, impartiality and professionalism of judges, improving the financing of the judiciary, etc. The solution of these tasks should be carried out comprehensively by taking into account other related legal institutions – advocacy, prosecution and execution of court decisions. Diplomatic dialogue is also important, since there are different views on judicial reform, which continue to make the whole process of its implementation more complicated. In order to ensure the effective functioning and further development of the judicial system, it is necessary to have a theoretical understanding of the issues of the implementation of judicial and legal reform. Such studies are necessary for the study and further consideration of problems that arise in the process of reformation. During the years of Ukraine’s independence, there have been many attempts to make changes in the judiciary, which were of different intensity and consequences. In fact, during this time, the judicial system and the administration of justice were a constant object of reform. However, no changes have yet received the name of judicial reform, not only formally, but also in public opinion.
