Debureaucratisation of the communication segment of justice by encouraging the associative spirit of judges

Abstract

The state of national justice, in terms of its public credibility, does not fall, to a sufficient extent, into the value dimension of the rule of law. And beyond multiple difficulties faced by individual judges and justice as a system, an important factor in shaping the image of the Judiciary is its communication policy. This is usually a competence of the Council for the Judiciary or of the courts, through a press officer or a spokesperson. The national reality reveals the fact that such a form of communication is deficient, based on objective and subjective reasons. In these conditions, we consider it necessary to find solutions to debureaucratize the communication segment of justice, by building another kind of associative sector - a non-profit organization within the Judiciary, which gives it voice, support and credibility. The paper is developed within the Project ‚Modernization of Governing Mechanisms Focused on the Protection of Human Rights’ (20.80009.1606.15), in the Scientific Research Laboratory Compared Public Law and e-Governmenf, Law Faculty, Moldova State University.
