Transparency relating to the judiciary serves to increase public knowledge about the judicial system, provides recourse for redress when problems occur and decreases the opportunities for corrupt practices.
It is vital that appointments, complaints and disciplinary processes are transparent and objective, and that the public has a means of challenging decisions where they are unreasonable or improper.
Transparency also bolsters judicial independence.
A diligent judge, for example, can demonstrate that they are acting in accordance with the law.
In addition, information on judicial conduct and discipline enables the public and civil society to act as a check against arbitrary executive interference.
