 The justice reform aims to revolutionise the Constitution's rules regulating the Superior Council of the Judiciary to establish two self-governing bodies: the Superior Council of the Judiciary and the Superior Council of the Oversight Judiciary. A split that is a direct consequence of the separation of the careers of judges and prosecutors.

It is envisaged that both organs of self-government will be chaired by the President of the Republic, who already presides over the SCC today. In addition, the proposed new text of Article 104 of the Constitution envisages that the first president and the attorney general of the Supreme Court of Cassation, who are now ex officio members of the SCC, will become ex officio members of the Judicial and the Requesters' SCCs respectively.

La ripartizione dei seggi è confermata nella sua proporzione, con un terzo di componenti laici e due terzi magistrati. Però, mentre oggi i laici sono eletti dal Parlamento in seduta comune tra professori ordinari di università in materie giuridiche e avvocati dopo 15 anni di esercizio, la riforma propone che siano estratti a sorte da un elenco di persone con queste professionalità, compilato dal Parlamento mediante elezione entro sei mesi dal suo insediamento. Invece, i componenti magistrati, oggi eletti da tutti i magistrati ordinari delle varie categorie, dovrebbero venire estratti a sorte tra i magistrati giudicanti (per il Csm giudicante) e requirenti (per il Csm requirente).

Disciplinary Functions and Measures

The reform also proposes to revise Article 105 of the Constitution, the first paragraph of which details the functions of the self-governing body. The two High Councils of the Judiciary will be responsible for recruitment, assignments, transfers, professionalism evaluations and the conferral of functions on judges and public prosecutors. However, while today the SJC also has the task of taking the disciplinary measures against magistrates, the reform proposes that disciplinary jurisdiction will not pass to the two Councils, but will be attributed to the new High Disciplinary Court.
