RULE OF LAW AND THE NEW REGULATIONS CONCERNING THE DISCIPLINARY LIABILITY OF THE MAGISTRATES

Summary/Abstract: The paper address the functioning of the rule of law, starting from the separation of powers, but also it offers a brief perspective over several theories that were developed as this principle evolved from one period of time to another. Closely linked to the principle stating the rule of law there is another one, proclaiming the imperative of an independent judicial authority and which, in performing its duties according to the rules that govern a fair trial, contributes to the implementation of the separation of powers but also of the checks and balances system and loyal cooperation between these authorities. We also presented an anlysis of the new regulation regarding the disciplinary liability of themagistrates, following the legislative changes adopted at the end of last year, and their eventual impact on the principles mentioned above. The research methods used in order to achieve this aim are the comparative method, the analytic and historical methods.
