Summary/Abstract: The judiciary reform in Poland started in 2015 with the replacement of judges in the Polish Constitutional Tribunal, the court responsible for the judicial review. It continued with amendments of laws addressed to judges and functioning of the Polish Supreme Court. Controversies over the reform reached the international level and triggered reactions from the European institutions and resulted in judgments of the Court of Justice. The article deals with comparative arguments (examples from the United States, Austria, France or Germany) concerning the extensive judiciary reform that have been presented by its authors throughout the debates and as response to criticism.
