Summary/Abstract: The increased doctrinal and normative interest in the ethos of a judge does not correspond in a satisfying dimension to practicing ethical principles by judges, in a way which would be expected due to the current socio-economic needs and constitutional standards.The above is affected by the procedures of amending law that are deprived of axiological debates, disputes between executive and judicial powers that are settled in the short-term and secondary perspective, as well as difficulties in defining the current duties of judges.The attention should be also drawn to the lack of ethical principles concerning legislative and executive authorities, which would help to strengthen the position of the judiciary. Meanwhile, there are much more recipients and beneficiaries of ethical principles addressed to judges than their number. However, these people often do not combine this issue with a specific legal interest (general and separate). It is equally important to notice the direct relationship between the ethos of a judge and often postulated efficiency of the judiciary, which is reflected by the conditions of functioning of the rule that the judge directs proceedings.
