Abstract
This paper offers few personal reflections on some of the issues of open justice and judicial transparency, starting off with stressing, in all the discussions about transparency and/or openness, the need for identifying the exact aim and then selecting the proper means for enhancing those values (1); then applying those considerations to the issue of streaming judicial hearings (2); external communication of a court, in particular the evergreen topic of the judicial communication with the press and media (3); as well as to the greater calls for transparency in the process of selecting judges to higher jurisdictions, national as well as European (4). Finally, issues of privatization and onlinization of the judicial process will be briefly touched upon (5), before concluding on the challenges that protection of personal data poses to the idea of open and transparent justice (6).
