Abstract

This article challenges the notion that the EU accession process has reduced the scope for informal practice in the judiciary in post-communist states. Elite survey data suggest that such practice is widespread – although primarily used in response to transition, informal practice has to some extent been carried over from communism and is largely used out of habit. Efforts to reduce the negative impact of informal practice in the judiciary should therefore not only seek to enhance its independence and capacity, but also address (1) public attitudes towards the law and the judiciary as such; (2) the coping strategies applied when interacting with the judiciary; and (3) the judges’ and prosecutors’ responses to such strategies.
