The legal rules concerning when and how judges and magistrates can be disciplined are vital to the protection of judicial independence. They help to prevent governments from removing or punishing judges simply because they make decisions that governments do not like, thus reassuring litigants and the public that judges’ decisions are based solely on the relevant law and facts, and not on political considerations or ministerial pressure. This helps maintain confidence in the rule of law.
