Abstract
Around 30 years ago, the European Charter on the Statute for Judges (adopted in Strasbourg, 8–10 July 1988) introduced the concept of a Council for the Judiciary in the following terms:
President of the Superior Court of Justice and of the Constitutional Court of Luxembourg.
Article translated from French by Sarah Jannarelly.
