Considering that humans are the main resource of the public sector, it is expected that any fundamental re-evaluation of the state’s institutions to offer a special attention to this segment. In the context of the profound changes that happened worldwide in the area of human resources in the public system, also in Romania were adopted reforms, with a gradual approach and implementation, by introducing stages over the years. Any change or transformation in this area could not take place without support or interaction with financial aspects or structural changes, all aiming the considerable transformation of the functioning of the judicial system in its ensemble. In the Romanian judicial system, even though reforms in the area of human resources were conceived in a coherent framework, the main changes in this area not always complemented each other, their implementation being sometimes inconsistent with the previous adopted measures. For these reasons, the present paper aims to analyze the evolution of the Romanian judicial reform in the area of human resources, both from the perspective of the pre-adhesion to the EU period, as well as from the perspective of the post-adhesion period.
