Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

An independent and impartial judiciary is the cornerstone of the Rule of Law. For a long time, this was deemed to be an axiom, and the Member States of the EU and the Council of Europe were countries aspiring to observe these principles.
This axiomatic truth has been nonetheless questioned in Europe during the last decade, and the illiberal regimes are alleged to attack on the judiciary in order to escape from the shackles of checks and balances.
These controversies made necessary to rethink how the European legal order should address these questions. The present workshop intends to explore the role of judicial independence in European law in different contexts, the alleged attacks on judicial independence and the mechanisms to defend it.
Based on the experiences of the fruitful cooperation started in 2020, the workshop aims to discuss these current topics in an international environment by sharing views and experiences between the students of the University of Vienna and the Masaryk University Brno.
