Abstract

The article is designed so that the reader is first briefly acquainted with the basic concepts - independence and impartiality of judges - and then follows the section on the membership of judges in political parties, where it emphasizes the amendment to the law on courts and judges. political parties, and an evaluation of the legislator's arguments presented. The author then concludes that the membership of judges in political parties should not be prohibited by law, as it should outweigh the right to free association of judges in political parties.

In the second part of the article, the author deals with the membership of judges in the church. Given the almost absent duties of the five churches and religious societies examined, this membership does not raise doubts about the threat to the independence and impartiality of judges.
