Summary/Abstract: As respects the profession of judge or prosecutor, the system of disciplinary measures is gradual. The most severe of the sanctions, exclusion from the judiciary, aims to ensure the prestige of the magistrate profession and confidence in the judiciary while other, easier sanctions cannot guarantee this goal. Once applied, this measure is permanent as no legal provision provides, directly or indirectly, the possibility of returning to the profession in any particular way. By comparison, the termination of the capacity of a magistrate, as a consequence of a conviction for the commission of a crime (by which the prestige of the profession is affected), although it is grafted on a behavior of greater gravity, does not represent a negative consequence of a perpetual nature.
