Problems of Ensuring the Independence of the Judiciary in Modern Conditions

The principle of independence of the judiciary and guarantees for its implementation are considered through the prism of the institutional structure and functioning of the judicial system. The influence of presidential power on the formation of the judiciary is studied, which does not fully contribute to ensuring the independence of the court. The role of qualification boards of judges as bodies of the judicial community in the formation of the judiciary is considered. Particular attention is paid to the formation of the court apparatus, which ensures the administration of justice, creates additional guarantees for the independence of the judiciary.

The results of the study show the influence of state authorities, primarily the presidential, on the independence of judges in the formation of the judiciary and the court apparatus. Proposals aimed at creating additional guarantees for ensuring the independence of the judiciary in the selection of judges and the appointment of court staff are substantiated.
