Abstract
On November 4, 2021, the Marshal of the Sejm received draft laws presented by the President of the Republic of Poland: the draft law on the courts of the peace and the draft law – provisions introducing the law on the courts of the peace. The changes proposed in the drafts assume the creation of justices of the peace. The courts of the peace are going to have the status of common courts. Pursuant to the draft, justices of the peace are to be elected in general elections and then appointed by the President at the request of the National Council of the Judiciary. The author of the study tries to answer the question about the status of justices of the peace, primarily in the aspect of the planned access to the office of justice of the peace, with particular emphasis on the conditions and procedure of selection.
