Stagnation or change? Administration of justice at the Round Table

Summary/Abstract: On the one hand, the Round Table is a historical event, because it took place in 1989; on the other hand, however, it may be regarded as a current one, as it was referred to by politicians in various contexts in 2017, with reference to the reform of the administration of justice in Poland. In an attempt to justify the changes postulated by the political group of the United Right, Deputies spoke of the need to overcome the provisions of the Round Table regarded as the source of pathology and inability to create a well-functioning system of the administration of justice. It is interesting to note that some of the politicians, scholars and journalists taking part in the debate on the judicial reform in Poland played an important role at the Round Table, as participants of law and court reform workgroup. The purpose of the article is to answer the title question: Stagnation or change?, taking into account such key issues as the importance and manner of creating the law, understanding the rule of law, institutional guarantees of the rule of law.
