Summary/Abstract: Along with presenting the statistical data, jurisprudence and the standpoints of legal theory, this paper gives a review and description of the Croatian legal regulations which enable individuals and legal entities to submit petition to the work and behavior of judges. Presidents of the Courts and judicial inspection have a key role in checking the allegations in the petitions. The author concludes that petitions are an important source of information on the conduct of judges and an effective means of protecting the human rights of the submitter. It is necessary to regulate more precisely the process of checking the allegations in petitions, and to punish those who abuse petitions in order to discredit judges.
