This paper exploring the Selection of Justices for the German Federal Constitutional Court is part of the series “Constitutional Law Around the Globe”. This topic of the series focuses on the “selection of justices to Supreme and Constitutional Courts” in contemporary democracies. Second in the row, this paper analyzes the selection of Justices in German Constitutional Law and how transparent and accountable the process is. A final paper will approach the legal systems composing the series in a comparative perspective.
