"It is essential that the process, both civil and criminal, becomes a more agile and modern tool to adequately pursue the objectives for which it is prepared. It is necessary that Government and Parliament, Judiciary and lawyers, commit themselves to achieve this result". This was said by President Sergio Mattarella speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the headquarters of the Superior School of the Judiciary in Castel Capuano.
"Within the framework of constitutional balances, judges are "subject only to the law". This creates the only possible link, in a state governed by the rule of law, between the judge, neither elective nor politically responsible, and popular sovereignty, of which the law, the work of parliamentarians elected by the people and politically responsible, is the first expression". In these considerations we find the essence of the independence of the Judiciary as an irrenounceable heritage of the rule of law and of our constitutional democracy". This was said by President Sergio Mattarella speaking at the Superior School of the Judiciary in Naples.
