These conditions include the appointment of judge, his status and his financial independence and they are analyzed both from a theoretical point of view, as well from a comparative point of view.

Status of judges includes several elements that are analyzed in this paper as follows: a period in which the judges are elected in the function, or term of office, a possible re-election, termination of judge’s term of office, incompatibility of judicial office, and immunity of a judge of the Constitutional Court. His financial autonomy and material position of the constitutional judge itself is one of the guarantor of judicial independence.
