Abstract
In this piece, the authors criticizes the practice of assessing the effi cacy of judge’s work by measuring the number of resolved court proceedings. Using a comparative method, the authors analyzes the practices of other civilized nations, including Slovenia, Austria, Germany and Switzerland, among others. In the aforementioned countries, it is unimaginable and impermissible to evaluate the work of judge merely by counting the number of resolved court cases. By far, the most correct solutions are those that measure the effi cacy of a judge’s work through his or her professional development, academic advancement, law school teaching assignments, or the publishing of scholarly articles. In accordance with the above criteria, it is logical that when they are fulfi lled, the judge should be granted the same salary as a judge of a higher court, regardless of whether or not the fi rst judge is named to the higher court (as in Slovenia, for example).
