Blokhin P. D.

In the present paper the author discusses in detail some of the transformations in the judiciary of Hungary, being a part of the large-scale constitutional reform. These transformations are evaluated both in terms of their potential effectiveness, and also in terms of compliance with European standards of fair trial. For that purpose, the author analyzes the current rules of judicial legislation in their systemic unity, the critical opinions of the Venice Commission and other expert and human rights institutions, as well as publications in scientific literature and media. The author dwells on three issues: the mechanism of the change of venue of cases, court clerks’ participation in the administration of justice and direct constitutional complaint.
