Abstract

The Faces of Judicial Integrity. An Introduction

Highlights

One of the issues that emerged at that time concerned integrity as: 1) identity, being oneself regardless of the number of roles performed in the sphere of everyday life
Integrity means the ability to remain autonomous in the face of the demands of the social norms in which we are embed ded; 2) an attitude of honesty understood in a particular way: as fidelity to one’s own moral convictions, which is manifested in the actions of the subject
Integrity is defined as the consistency of one’s beliefs and actions, while its opposite is hypocrisy. When referring to these definitions, underlying the discussion on legal profes sions, we decided it was reasonable to explore the category of integrity with parti cular reference to the profession of a judge in more detail
