The aim of this paper is to show certain deficiencies in the system for the selection, removal, and discipline of male and female judges. As regards the selection system, the alleged meritocratic criteria were minimized because they were lost in a system in which the mere seniority in similar positions is rewarded. Furthermore, as it was highlighted, this situation becomes even worse with the discretionary matrix of the personal interview over this doubtful meritocratic scheme. On the other hand, regardless of the cases of removal of judges from office, the system is quite useless as an accountability mechanism.
