According to its constitutional status, the Supreme Council of Judges of the Republic of Uzbekistan is a body of the community of judges. However, the way it is formed shows that it is not. This article critically analyzes the issues related to the transformation of the Supreme Council of Judges into a real body of the community of judges. It argues that the Supreme Council of Judges can become a true community body of judges only if the judges elect its members themselves. In this regard, the article proposes amendments to the Constitution of Uzbekistan.
