The constitutional role of the Romanian Superior Council of Magistracy (RSCM) is to act as guarantor of the justice independence. In this quality and according to its competences,

the Council is accountable before the other public authorities, the civil society, and any other participant to the judicial procedures, for the proper organization and operation of justice, as public service. The institution ensures the observance

of law and criteria of professional competence and ethics throughout the career of judges and prosecutors. The Council

coordinates the activity of the National Institute of Magistracy, the institution in charge with the initial training of future

magistrates - judges and prosecutors – but also the continuous training of magistrates in service.
