Summary/Abstract: Consideration and evaluation of candidates for the office of judge, and then presentation to the President of the Republic of Poland of applications for the appointment of judges are among the most important competences of the National Council of the Judiciary. The standard of this assessment has essentially been set by constitutional standards and the provisions of the Act on the National Council of the Judiciary. According to these standards and provisions, the assessment should be based on transparent, uniform and fair selection criteria. Consequently, the assessment carried out by the National Council of the Judiciary should meet a specific methodological standard. The aim of the study is to define a constitutional and statutory methodological standard for the assessment of candidates for the office of judge by the National Council of the Judiciary.
