The Supreme Judicial Council is the key administrative and self-governing authority of the judicial branch in the Republic of Bulgaria. Its mandate encompasses managing the personnel, career development, and disciplinary oversight of magistrates, as well as administering the judicial budget. Originally established under the post-communist Constitution of Bulgaria adopted in July 1991, the council was formally structured into separate judicial and prosecutorial colleges following major constitutional reforms in 2015.
