Summary/Abstract: In this study the author analyzes the legal regime of constitutional judges’ independence. The issue of neutrality and fairness of the Constitutional Court in regard with public authorities under Title III of the Constitution seems to us as the fundamental problem of the Romanian society at the end of a quarter of century of violent change since the political regime in 1989. At a state level, the main political actors, along with the parliamentary groups, representatives of political parties, are in permanent conflict, trying to dispute the support of citizens, which indicates not only a lack of authority, but also one of legitimacy and at a parliamentary level, there is a constant appeal to the Constitutional Court for the settlement of political disputes between the Majority and the Opposition.
