European Network of Councils for the Judiciary

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The European Network of Councils for the Judiciary (ENCJ) is the European organization that unites the councils of the judiciary – national bodies in support of the Judiciary.[1][2] From May 2018 the chairman is the Dutchman Kees Sterk. Presidents change every two years.[3][4]

The ENCJ opts for cooptation of the judiciary and against the influence of parliamentary representatives in the composition of its ranks.[5] It played an important role in the criticism from the European Union on developments in the control of the judiciary from parliament and executive power in countries such as Holland.[6][7][8]
