Appointment of judges in judicial council as an independent body is just one of the models of placement judges on judicial office. It is a new model, which has, however, his ground in international documents, because judicial council should ensure cooperation between the judicial power and second two branches of government, and it should strengthen judicial independence and judicial autonomy. Besides that, we shall avoid political influences in procedure of confirmation of chosen candidates for judges, that let be chosen only round professional criteria, with appointment of judges in judicial council at the same time. Situations shall be made impossible with membership of representatives of legislative and executive branch of government in alone body of judicial council or with cooperation of these powers at formation of his composition, when judicial power is organized without outside influences only inside narrow group of humans.
System, that judicial council names judges alone in, is exercised in Italy, Croatia, Spain, Portugal, Macedonia, and Bulgaria. These law systems are ensuring realization of democracy on different manners, mainly with ensuring of membership in council also the president of a state, which enables direct influence of executive power, and cooperation of parliament at the election of remaining members of council. If appropriate representation of members is ensured like this, that judges keep majority, we are talking about well-established judicial council with appropriate scope of competence, that he is choosing candidates for judges based on in advance certain professional criteria.
