SELECTING JUDGES FOR REGIONAL COURTS IN EUROPE: A SHORT STUDY IN THE USE AND PRACTICE OF JUDICIAL PANELS

Summary/Abstract: This brief study looks at the different types of models for judicial appointments panels that have been created in order to deal with issues surrounding independence and accountability with respect to the courts of the three main regional communities in Europe: the Court of Justice of the European Union ("CJEU"); the European Court of Human Rights ("ECtHR"); and the Court of Justice of the European Free Trade Association ("EFTA Court"). The conclusion attempts to draw some common threads from these experiences while highlighting possible future developments in the operation of the panels discussed.
