Abstract
This report examines judicial independence within the context of the organization of the judiciary in Argentina. It is divided into four parts. Firstly, it addresses the organization of the judiciary. Special attention is devoted in that part to the appointment of judges and the role of the Council of the Magistracy (Consejo de la Magistratura). Secondly, it discusses the autonomy of the judiciary. There, the focus is on the stability and removal of judges. Thirdly, the report offers insights into the court system, delving mainly into the operation of federal courts. Finally, the report briefly explores two aspects of the independence of judiciary. On the one hand, the report examines the court hierarchy and stare decisis; and on the other hand, the report offers insights on the interplay of federal and provincial orders.
