Abstract (in inglese)
The article explores the implementation issues raised by the introduction of a draw for the lay members of the High Councils of the Judiciary and the new High Disciplinary Court, in a constitutional reform framework that defers crucial details to ordinary legislation. It examines the design and size of the lists of eligible candidates, the risk that closed lists may de facto neutralize randomness, and several organisational questions regarding the number of lists, the authority entrusted with the draw, and the technical features of the drawing procedure. Particular attention is devoted to the political institutional incentives in list formation (including majority/opposition balances) and to the choice of parliamentary voting thresholds, in light of existing constitutional practices on random selection and of recent experience with candidacies for lay CSM members, especially concerning transparency and gender balance.
