A year of consideration of disciplinary cases: how HCJ members work

In this material, we are going to look at the statistics of the HCJ’s activity overall and its individual members between November 1, 2023, and October 31, 2024, and point out the most significant cases that were reviewed, or not, in the second six months after the disciplinary function of the HCJ was restored. This overview will help us analyze the productivity of each specific HCJ member and give us a chance to compare the productivity of the SDI with the HCJ in the future, while also recording the “disciplinary heritage” that the latter will pass on to the SDI.


The research has been carried out with the financial support of the German Foreign Ministry. The views and positions expressed herein do not necessarily reflect the position of the German Foreign Ministry.
