The civil sector demands to improve the transparency and procedures of the selection and appointment of judges.

According to the Coalition for Independent and Transparent Judiciary, judges of city and appellate courts should not be selected by secret ballot, but according to points.

As for the judges of the Supreme Court, they think that this issue should become a subject of considerable discussion and in addition to the High Council of Justice, the involvement of the public is also important.

The legislative proposal prepared by the Coalition is to be discussed at the Parliamentary Legal Issues Committee today.

"The process must be transparent, the the mechanisms of appeal should be improved and should be more effective. Also, the score system should be introduced, "-said Tamta Kakhidze, a lawyer for international transparency.
