Abstract

This article describes and critically analyses the proposals for reform of the legislation gov- erning the Italian Supreme Council of the Judiciary presented during the course of the 16th Legislature, concerning both constitutional and ordinary legislation. Various aspects are con- sidered, such as: the composition of the body; the procedures for appointing members, with particular focus on judges; the status of members; the possibility of creating different bodies for judges and public prosecutors; and its powers. Particular attention is reserved to the possi- bility, mooted in one of the constitutional reform bills, of creating a High Court of Justice to be vested with the exercise of disciplinary powers, but also other tasks including that of identify- ing, in agreement with Parliament, the priorities for the exercise of prosecutions.
