In their duties, they promised to be independent, objective, and honest.<\/p>\n<p>The youngest of the newly elected judges in Ukraine&#8217;s Supreme Court is 34 years old, the oldest is 61. One-third of the judges hadn&#8217;t had prior experience as judges, but in other fields, including as lawyers and scientists.<\/p>\n<p>One new judge, Valentyn Serdiuk, said his new post will take some getting used to. From now on, he&#8217;s not only a scientist but also a judge of the Appeals Court, which is a part of the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was competing for the vacant position as a scientist. Thus, this job was not my goal in itself. My scientific achievements and their incorporation into legal usage will be helpful,&#8221; Serdiuk said.<\/p>\n<p>More than a third of the newly elected judges are women. Among them is Iryna Lytvynenko, who worked at Chernihiv&#8217;s trial court.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It took me a lot of time to prepare for it. I had no vacations, and I was not able to take unpaid leave because I had a lot of things to do. I studied evenings and weekends,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>This was the second and the final stage of selection that lasted for several months. As a result, Ukraine&#8217;s High Qualification Commission of Judges selected 78 candidates out of 600. The Supreme Council of Justice recommended 75 of them to be appointed as judges.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We believe this is a very strong Supreme Court &#8211; those who won in the first selection and those who won in the second one. Many among the new judges are former defenders, law scholars. They&#8217;ll bring civilizational change,&#8221; Second Chairman of the Supreme Qualification Commission of Justice Serhiy Kozyakov said.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court of Ukraine began operating in Dec. 2017. Since then, it has conducted over 120 legal proceedings. However, it didn&#8217;t work in full capacity as only 118 candidates out of 200 required were appointed as judges.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From today, the Supreme Court of Ukraine will work nearly in full capacity. There are 193 judges now. This figure would seem large, but the amount of work is even greater,&#8221; Supreme Court Chairwoman Valentyna Danyshevska said.<\/p>\n<p>President Petro Poroshenko called the Supreme Court a success of Ukraine&#8217;s judicial reform. Poroshenko said that he hopes that the team of his successor, President-elect Volodymyr Zelenskyi, will continue to implement judicial reform.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The end of the competition for vacant posts at the Intellectual Property High Court, and the qualification assessment of trial court judges, as well as the selection of new trial and appellate court judges are going up next. It is forecasted that these procedures will be completed in a year-and-a-half,&#8221; Poroshenko said.<\/p>\n<p>The newly elected Supreme Court judges will start working in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seventy-five newly-elected judges took their oath at the Supreme Court.
