The organisation of the work of a judge and the activities of judicial administration bodies (comments from the viewpoint of the administrative judiciary)

Abstract:

The aim of the paper is to present the characteristics of the judge’s work from the perspective of the court’s organisation and court administration tasks. The analysis is conducted on the basis of normative regulation concerning the Polish administrative courts issued by a judge of the Supreme Administrative Court. In addition to a presentation of the characteristics of the administrative courts as a separate branch of the judiciary, such phenomena as the allocation of cases and persons who cooperate with judges are presented. In the final remarks, a positive evaluation of the conditions for the organisation of the judge’s individual workplace is formulated. However, the conclusion also proposes improvements for more a professional court organisation which would result in a better decision-making process. It therefore seems that judges should have more influence over the selection of the persons with whom they work.
