L’elezione dei membri laici del Consiglio Superiore della Magistratura alla prova della riforma dell’ordinamento giudiziario

This essay aims to analyse the first application in January 2023 of the reform of the composition and election rules of the High Council of the Judiciary, with a particular regard to the selection of lay (non-judicial) members. With this reform, in addition to increasing from 8 to 10 the number of lay members, their procedure of selection has been modified, too, in order to try to make it as much open as possible to autonomous candidatures and to allow a more equal gender representation.
