Abstract

The article analyses the status of transparency of judicial power in Canada. The author reveals such characteristics of transparency as the existence of clear criteria of the selection of judges, facts of ignoring transparency of consultative procedures in the process of the selection of judges; statutory wage rate for judges; corporate regulation of norms of behavior and assessment of judges’ activity; existence of facilitating mechanisms of transparency of judicial procedure. The conclusion is made that providing transparency of judicial power is the guarantee of public credit to courts without which fair justice is impossible.

Keywords
