Abstract

This article starts from a consideration of the complex constitutional framework regarding the regulation of the judiciary and its controversial implementation, then moving on to exam- ine the most significant amendments that have occurred since the year 2000. Focusing on the Italian model for the regulation of the judiciary, the article focuses in particular on the role played by the Italian Supreme Council of the Judiciary, above all in relation to the administration of the judiciary and the progressive expansion of the area covered by the “sistema tabel- lare” (or the internal regulatory system), also in relation to the office of the public prosecutor, and the emphasis on the mandatory nature of criminal prosecutions, as a point of intersection of various constitutional principles (legality, equality, etc.). Finally, the institution of the so- called “protective practices”, which have now become a very important practice and have re- cently been positivised on a regulatory level, is considered as a privileged instrument for ob- serving the development of the legal system with regard to the independence of the judiciary and the role of the Supreme Council.
